Playing my part in browser wars

Just after installing Flock browser (0.9.1) http://www.flock.com and it looks really really good. It imported my settings from Firefox automatically. The look-and-feel of it is very cool - lots of bold blue colours and rounded shapes.

Firefox - still the default - handling things nicely still

Opera - just installed the new version last week - seemed fasted on first usage - maybe that is just an optics issue.

Safari - the windows port of it has been a bit flaky - has trouble with flash content and big PDF files - both of which I browse onto a good bit.

Verdict: going to stick with flock for a little while to give it a fair chance. Will make www.pageflakes.com my homepage and see what happens from there.
