Not until they fix some glaring CPU leaks in the build. Flock constantly pegged my processor <em>(a 1.4Ghz Celeron)<\/em>. I shut off all updating functions and even scrapped the news feeds <em>(one of my favorite features, though using <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/reader.google.com\">Google Reader<\/a><em> these days means I don&#8217;t miss the built-in Flock RSS reader so much)<\/em>. But nothing worked. Every few seconds, it would completely hang up my computer for about 3 seconds. It was in a constant loop, and I couldn&#8217;t find any reason for it in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flock.com\/forums\/\">forums<\/a>. I decided that with the 2.0 release of Firefox, I owed it to myself to jump back to my favorite browser and see how it has improved. In short: Firefox 2.0 is the most fantastic user experience I&#8217;ve ever been engaged in <em>(at least, until 3.0 comes out)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I see now that they are up to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flock.com\/download\">version 7.9.1<\/a>, which means they might get close to releasing 1.0 by spring. I&#8217;ll probably switch back about that time. Hopefully, all CPU issues will have been sorted out by then.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, I&#8217;m loving Firefox <em>(again)<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With everything going on recently, and me being so incredibly busy with side projects, I completely forgot to mention that I switched back to Firefox over the holidays.
