Flock is a feature-packed web browser based on Mozilla Firefox’s codebase. It offers easy access to social networking and media sites, quick blog posting, easy checking of webmail, and much more. It’s the browser that has everything, yet you can add even more to it by installing add-ons.
Since Flock is powered by Firefox, many Firefox extensions will work with it. There are also some extensions that have been designed specifically for Flock. Here are some of the best add-ons for this awesome browser.
* Screenshot – This add-on makes it very simple to take screenshots of web pages. You can access it through the menu that appears when you right-click your mouse. You may save the entire page, the portion that appears in the window, or a selection as a .png or .jpg file.
* Me.dium – Me.dium is an application that allows you to see where your friends are online. You can surf the Web together in real time, and you can discover new websites based on what your friends and others with similar tastes like.
