Flock (web browser)
open-in-new
<p>Flock is a discontinued <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a> that specialized in providing <a href="/facts/Social_network_service/qFIh6VT1">social networking</a> and <a href="/facts/Web_2.0/mn8W4Xnu">Web 2.0</a> facilities built into its <a href="/facts/User_interface/e9sPEWVD">user interface</a>. Earlier versions of Flock used the <a href="/facts/Gecko_(layout_engine)/HXINMkgW">Gecko</a> <a href="/facts/Web_browser_engine/wLna3ate">HTML rendering engine</a> by <a href="/facts/Mozilla/FevL9Itn">Mozilla</a>. Version 2.6.2, released on January 27, 2011, was the last version based on Mozilla Firefox. Starting with version 3, Flock was based on <a href="/facts/Chromium_(web_browser)/F1S8sAEt">Chromium</a> and so used the <a href="/facts/WebKit/YrP9vbIj">WebKit</a> rendering engine. Flock was available as a free download, and supported <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a>, <a href="/facts/Mac_OS_X/Y93vVpTm">Mac OS X</a> and, at one time, <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a> as well. </p><p>Support for Flock was discontinued in April 2011. </p>
