I have so many browsers on my computer! I use Explorer sometimes, Opera mostly though. At other times, especially when I’m blogging, I use Flock. I’m using it right now!

Explorer is good because it’s pretty fast at loading some pages. It’s also pretty simple when not loaded to the hilt with the bells and whistles from 3rd-party companies. I hate those things. They usually make the browser work much slower.

Opera on the other hand, works relatively fast, but the latest version seems to have some sort of memory leak somewhere and bogs down, becomes inoperable at times because it is doing something in the background. I had a similar problem with it a few years ago and downloaded the next version and it was fixed. I hope the next update fixes this problem. Opera is my main email software, too! So I cannot do without it.

Flock, however, is a browser I’m beginning to use more and more these days. It loads pretty fast, loads pages pretty quickly, runs without locking up, has tabs (although they do not open when double-clicking the bar like Opera) and has quite a few features built in for blogging.

One of my favorite features is the blogging editor. I can highlight some text and blog it straight to my site to read later for reference. I can also upload photos straight to Flickr and Facebook if I want without having to log into those sites first. It also allows me to drag and drop those photos into my blog articles as I am writing.

The sidebar option is one of the best features in the browser. They are conveniently positioned to the top left where I can quickly click them and open whatever I need to access; Blog Editor, Photo Uploads, Favorites, Facebook and Flickr friends, Feeds and more.

I think Flock is a good mix of Explorer and Opera, the two best browsers out there.
