Seeing that Flock has now entered public beta, and I think it kind of rocks, I wanted to try and sync Firefox and Flock so I could go back and forth. Well it kind of worked.

First I had to edit he Google Browser Sync extension so it would install in Flock. No problems there. Then it did all the work for me and synced everything except bookmarks. Cookies, history and saved passwords all came across with no problems. However, no bookmarks.

Now, if I could only figure out how to get my Firefox bookmarks in Flock. Then I’d be all set.

When I discovered the other day that Flock has been updated, and was now a Universal Mac application, I decided to check it out. I thought Flock was cool back in the day, but now it rocks!

I love my Firefox, but I’m constantly checking out new browsers to see what they have to offer. Now, some people say Flock is Firefox and ductape, but I almost prefer Flock to Firefox!

Why?

1. Flock has a very polished look and feel. Firefox isn’t bad, but Flock is great.

yExplore has been updated to version 1.2 adding support for Firefox 2 and Firefox 3.

Since it’s a basic extension, and doesn’t tie into much that will change a lot, I thought it was safe to add the additional support. It has been tested by a friend in the latest version of Firefox so now everyone can enjoy it.

Next up, Flock & Seamonkey support!

When I saw Flock today on MacUpate, the same question passed though my mind, ‘is it Universal yet?’

I have an Intel iMac at home and Flock performed less than great. I’m not sure why but it just felt wrong. So, I searched for a build that ran natively on Intel Mac processors with no luck, until today!

Flock is now Universal and runs on PPC & Intel Mac’s!

I love my Firefox, and I like the idea of Flock and I can finally get back into it again. As soon as I get home, I’m going to give it a go. Good work guys!
