Firefox is ok, but it really sux for some Web sites. Some site’s pages simply won’t load into Firefox, rendering only blank pages and making it necessary to switch to a browser that CAN and WILL load it.

Until I stumbled upon Flock browser, the only alternative browser in which to view such pages was Internet Explorer or AOHell’s Netscape Navigator (a once good browser gone bad). Now there’s Flock. It loads pages that Firefox will only display as blank pages. No one seems to be developing any themes or extensions for Flock, though; so I guess it’s up to people like me, with only a vague understanding of how to create such things, to fumble through the process and come up with new themes and extensions.

I really thought Firefox was “the” thing, until I discovered that some Web pages would not load in that browser. Also, I have discovered that the hype that Mozilla used when it developed its browsers (including Firefox)–that Firefox was safer against hackers and/or viruses than Internet Explorer–is just so much b.s. In reality, it is actually easier to hack or infect a computer running Firefox than it is to hack or infect a computer running only Internet Explorer. I hate to have to admit it, but if set properly, Internet Explorer is actually more secure and affords better protection against hack attempts, virus infection, and interception of encrypted data than either Firefox or Flock. There is absolutely no verifiable evidence to support Mozilla’s claims. Flock, after all, is little more than a revamped Firefox more akin to a non-AOHell version of Netscape Navigator.

Flame me as you will, but the truth is the truth. Those who blindly and unquestioningly follow the Firefox and Flock developers–the same crowd that believes that anti-virus programs are unnecessary–will continue to mistakenly believe that they are somehow safer online by using Firefox or Flock. They are the Flock blindly following a false shepherd. This browser wasn’t called “Flock” for nothing.

I don’t use Flock or Firefox because they are more secure, because I know different. I use Flock and Firefox because I don’t like Internet Explorer.
