Instead of installing many extension, Flock integrate useful feature for common jobs like blogging, upload photos, communicate in social network and that's why it runs faster.

I really tried, but I just can't like Flock. The thing is great starting out, and I was just thrilled to see the ability to configure for a service by simply watching you log-in for the first time. That is user friendly out the ass. When it comes to day to day use, it just doesn't stand up. Flock is Firefox based, but it dropped common or popular extensions like Del.icio.us Bookmarks and Twitbin for weaker clones that don't deliver when you're actually using them.

To summarize, Flock is great out of the box, but it stales exposed to the real world for long. I think it has a great opportunity, however, for those who wouldn't have already installed the extensions on Firefox.

You should still look at Flock. It's enough like Firefox and depending on your system it might run even faster.

Definitively Firefox was and still is the winner. The feature I like most is the tabbing (many locations in one) and faster web browsing. Microsoft is trying to copycat adding tab browsing to its IE7 edition. They will have to try harder before I jump into their bandwagon.

Thanks for the advice. I have plenty of resources and I don't like changes because there is always something going wrong when I change things.

You can keep most of your extensions and transfer them over to Flock. Though, if you have enough RAM and aren't experiencing slow downs then I'd say stay with Firefox.

right now I don't see any reason why changing my FF plugins and addons. I have plenty of RAM and sometimes I have small issues with FF, but the addons I use with FF make my life so much easier that I can't think of a reason to change the browser

That's a good point. I still use Firefox pretty heavily. When I know I need to put heavy load on the browser, I just switch out to Flock.
