There are many, quite polarised opinions on what and how cool is Flock.

There are people saying it is the Next Big Thing (tm) and there are others who say it is not worth the hype. It is probably too early to tell - Flock is still raw.

Atrus writes - Flock is just a bunch of extensions:

" Flock =? theme + foxylicious + flickrfox + Deepest Sender

Granted, Firefox itself is mostly glue between various parts of Gecko and extensions ...
Speaking of Firefox, I'm disappointed by two of the big features for 1.5: <canvas> and SVG. "

Daniel thinks along the same lines:

" Personally, I'd love to be able to lay hands on all of the kick @ss features as regular extensions to firefox as opposed to having to get the Flock browser. "

So it is a sum of extensions. But maybe that is what people need?

Miss Rogue - " An extension? That's what I put in my hair. As a halfling (member of the technically clueless, but love the idea of it), I am a bit afraid of extensions. Give me the package or go away. "

There are valueble things in Flock, but those are not necessarily the ones that are most talked about. One of them is search. Benja comments :

" That the search field searches the recent history (and favorites) was the one thing I really liked about Flock, OTOH. "

That summarises what people are saying about Flock.

P.S. Flock does not work with b2evolution.
