Flock Beta Released
Except that even the browsers we have now don't adhere to the standards. That's why you have to have sites *designed* to be multi-browser compatible. If all browsers followed the standards, you'd write once, view with anything.
That said, Flock is just a different framework built off the gecko core. The number of browsers doesn't really make a difference, it's the number of rendering engines. And Flock doesn't add to that count.

Unless Flock committs to financially supporting Mozilla I wouldn't use it. I would rather use Firefox and support Mozilla. Flock seems to be another Apple, looking to score big on the back of Open Source. Apple is known for not giving back one bit to open source even though OSX is completely built from FreeBSD. It's true that they don't have to, but they are one of the few companies in that area that gives nothing. I was listening to an interview with the developer of SAMBA, and he was talking about how Apple is very strange that way... anyway, I digress. I just hope Flock at least gives back to the developers that created their product.
