Google Announces Web Browser - Page 3

Well, I am using it, and I have to say: The import system sucks!

No passwords were imported, and that alone makes Flock better, not to mention the fact that I was able to customize it to the way I liked (at least most of it).

I'm using it right now, and I'm really digging the layout. It just seems like there's alot less space wasted on the browser, and alot more space devoted to the webpage. Gonna be replacing opera for awhile, I think.

I'm fairly sure Flock is just firefox with a bunch of social networking enhancements. You can thank the mozilla folks for the importing =)

I'm thinking you've got some user enabled intelligence blocking device working there.

My passwords and account names all transferred over just fine. As well as all my bookmarks. On both my Vista and XP machines.

That’s the most technical way I have ever heard that put.

Yeah, it didn't transfer passwords and such from opera, either, but it did a great job of trasnferring settings from ie. I mean, hey, it even set the default search engine as windows live search (ok, so that's not a good thing, but it did a good job at pulling settings, is my point).

I even had to tweak the settings...well I'm going to be Linux bound for a while. Like it more than XP right now.
