Flock — the so-called social web browser — has dumped its traditional Firefox core in favor of Chromium, the open source incarnation of Google's Chrome browser.

I've had the Mac version of Flock installed at work for a few years, for testing purposes mainly, alongside Firefox, Safari and Camino. Whilst Firefox has received a plethora of updates in that time, I think flock has maybe had one update, possibly two - which worried me from a security point of view - hence why it's not used as my day-to-day browser. I've never really been a fan of the Mozilla-based browsers, they just don't feel very Mac-like - more like a Windows app ported to Mac...badly.

Of course, sorry... yes, Camino is the only one that looks and behaves like a Mac app - I was forgetting Camino was a Mozilla browser, I actually use it as my main browser at work and at home! I was mainly thinking about Firefox, it just doesn't feel Mac-like - can't quite put my finger on it! Sorry, it's late and I wasn't thinking clearly!
