Flock 0.7.11: browser of new generation

5th March 2007

A new version of the free browser Flock was released. Based on Firefox, the program is considered as a "browser for communication ", and differs from competitive products by a large number of options related to Internet-communication. The developer of the program, who had previously participated in the development of Mozilla, said that, browsers have changed, but a little bit during the past 10 years, while the needs of users changed very much. Firefox, he said, although safer and more convenient than IE, but it is still far from ideal. Therefore, the Flock includes not only safe surfing, but also the ability to read RRS - news, the tool for file exchange between users, convenient means of blogs management, access to online-resource del.icio.us for links exchange and also access to Flickr service for photographs exchange. Another interesting feature of the browser- immediate appearance of information in the blog, which a user extracted on some other web-site before. To the latest version many useful features were added, as following: automatically attribution of Blogger Beta, as well as the ability of Bmp files downloading, indicator of performance while downloading images, improvement of errors processing when downloading to Photobucket. Also now when closing the browser, the information of whether Photobar panel was open or not is saved. Developer: Flock Distributed: free Operating system: Windows All Size 9 MB
