Not exactly a bug, more like a feature. While using livesearch, when i click on a result, it opens in the tab that i'm in. I would like to be able to open more than one result and in different tabs. I try to hold CTRL (to get a new tab) or shift while clicking, but that doesn't work.

It would be a nice new feature. In my simple opinion.

By the way, flock is the coolest browser. :D

While I'm not quite as unhappy as Josh seems to be, there are a few huge issues that simply keep me from returning to Flock anytime soon, and they become especially apparent with all of the other excellent browsers out there. The two biggest issues are the slowness of the navigation and the overall slowness/sluggishness of the program (long loading time, inability to speedily handle picture bar/blog editor, etc.) For these reasons alone, I've switched over to OmniWeb, which, while unfortunately and most definitely not free and devoid of some great Flockoid features, is incredibly fast all-around, convenient to use, and nice-looking to boot.

It does sadden me greatly that I've had to switch to three(!) new programs instead of using only Flock, but hopefully some of the issues get worked out soon!

Personally the two biggest things for me are:

1) I would like to see a much more robust blogging tool. I have used Live Writter Beta (gasp a MS product) and have been very happy with how it works. I would like to see something like this in flock. This is btw the biggest feature I would like to see, along with better blogger beta support in all blog software everywhere.

2) Overall I think flock can be tuned and tweaked to perform a little faster. The memory leaks never bothered me because I run with 2 gigs on a windows system, and I can throw ram at flock all day long and have more to spare. The feature that slows down the most on me is the news reader. I keep about 160 feeds in there and it can get sluggish sometimes.

Other than those two minor things which are probably already in devolpement, I love flock. If flock was a woman my girlfriend would be jealous that I spent more time with flock than with her.

My biggest complaint is the simplicity of its blogging editor. It lacks the bells and whistles of other text editors such as and Deep Sender, Performancing and BlogCharm.

If Flock would beef up its text editor to include serious writer's tools it would be perfect. For example, it badly needs text alignment features. Centering text and images is quite cumbersome.

Other than that, Flocks is my preferred networking social browser.

Cheers,

1. Get blog feature working with blogger.com again.. (I grew accustomed to it.. ;))

2. Fix the search functionality - so the field it auto seleced onFocus so I can easily delete the old query,,,,

Keep up the good work !

Worries:

1. Slowness (at various times) and memory usage.
2. Long running stability
3. Extensions not updating when Firefox extensions are up todate
4. Blog editor, not quite good enough
5. Reorganiseing Favourites (can't handle the imported list I have - requires some hierarchy).

Bouquets:
1. RSS reader/aggregator (really exactly what I like the most!)
2. Nice friendly General UI
3. Photo/image handling.

1- VERY SLOW DEVELOPMENT (like another user said above)
2- TOO LATE IN PUBLISH STABLE VERSION
3- Very buggy
4- Exclude to people who dont use the net like social browsing, only PERSONAL BROWSING
5- The eternal problem of awful bookmark system
6- The UI is too large please reduce windows and dialogs
7- Better blogging feature: choose font style and other parameters
9- Tabs managing: why ctrl+click to open new tab? i have to surf the web with two hands?
10- This last it is not a critic, Flock is still a fantastic browser

I'd like to be able to rearrange my collections by dragging already. This has taken way too long.

When I delete something from the front of my snippets it always tries to scroll to the end. This is very annoying when I have a lot of snippets, just leave it where it was.

Clearing history should clear the history results in search too.

Hopefully you're adopting the new Firefox 2.0 menus and the addons manager. I don't want to have to switch back and forth between the nice options menus there and then go back to the less intuitive menus here. I'd also like to see the anti-phishing, search, session restore, spellcheck and all new Firefox 2.0 features implemented. If you can't keep up with the browser you're based off of, forget it, I would switch back to Firefox.

Make sure you have Mac specific features and are more like Camino than Firefox on Mac.

If you're going with the web 2.0 browser approach, go big or go home. I know you're working on some MySpace or people integration which is great, but bring on YouTube and Google Video. Maybe even email and something with Meebo for the complete package, if it doesn't waste too many system resources. And I know there's that Meebo sidebar extension but you're still in development. Then I know you'd have a load of users.

I would just say that I am not a big fan of how flock treats its bookmarks. With someone like me only have the folders only one level deeps is just not enough. Also if there is an _official_ extension/function/whatever that allows us to sync bookmarks with arbitrary servers (like ones we set up on our own) will be greatly appreciated.

I'll add my vote to a few things listed above.

1. "slow" development... at least make it really obvious what you have planned. Are you working on the blog feature? How about the bookmarks management?

2. Bookmarks management. One of the the reasons I am using flock is that it has made de.licio.us actually accessible to me in a way I like. BUT I hate not being able to have a side bar (like firefox) to easily view and manage my bookmarks. Plus I it is an absolute pain to categorize my bookmarks by folders!

3. customizability. I love the fact that Flock is intended to be easy to use and streamlined. But you shouldn't do this at the expense of usefulness. It's totally inexcusable that I cannot tell flock where to display the photo bar (top or bottom etc) or to have the blogging tool be a side/bottom bar instead of a pop up.

4. Blogging tool. Come on folks. This has to be the number 1 feature that would make Flock special. Blow us away. Give us unprecedented control, spell check, ease of use etc. Textedit on my Mac is actually better, the only thing it can't do is post directly to my blog.

5. supported sevices. I would really love to be able to use the photo bar to upload pictures to my own server via sftp.

6. finally, speed. It takes forever to load flock. and opening new windows takes equally forever. (G4 with 1.5 gigs of Ram)

Overall: I've been using flock as my primary browser for a couple of months now. But unless I know that there is going to be some major development I don't see why I should stick with it.

I only got two:

1. Firefox 2.0
2. Compatibility with Firefox extensions (doesn't work very well, if at all).

Why is the star and tag this page modal ?
It's impossible to copy text from the page you're bookmarking in the tagging form.

It would also be great to have tags suggestions.

Best regards

Some encouragement: I never open Firefox, only Flock. Flock feels more part of the Mac than Firefox. Second, I always let Flock ask me if I want it to be the primary browser. I always say no but not before I think about it first.

Concerns:

1. Like others have said, speed of development. I have no doubt this is the most challenging, but it's also a quality that would distinguish Flock from the other browsers.
2. Mac-like. Like someone said, be more like Camino than Firefox. This is huge.
3. App speed and memory usage: kind of a given and I know you guys are always working on this one.
4. Improved RSS support, though I don't know how feasible it is to expect an app to be excellent at browsing and RSS. It'd be sweet though.

Shortly; it crashes ALOT =_________=

The biggest issue for me is the lack of support for alternative bookmarking services (particularly Ma.gnolia). del.icio.us is _such_ a poor service that I would not consider moving to it for anything, and Shadows ... well ... does anyone use Shadows?

I think Flock is a cool product with much potential, and there are a lot of things I like. Here you asked what I don't like, so my biggest concerns are (1) incompatibility/unavailablity of certain Firefox plugins and extensions. Ideally, Flock should just work with all Firefox extensions and even import them from my Firefox install automagically; and (2) performance and instability. This for me was one of the key reasons to move from IE to Firefox, and Flock seems to have temporarily taken a step backwards in that direction.

I would love to see an auto-refresh in RSS feeds that sit in my bookmark bar... I check in on digg a lot and I always have to refresh the feed, wait a few seconds and then skim through the headlines.

Also I love the blog tool - but I don't use it much because it doesn't seem tweaked for blogger, seems as though when I'm writing and I hit enter it places a "br/" but if I delete it gets all scrambled. I've had to go back in through blogger and erase all the extra code... including the "div" info. It just made my post go crazy - but I know it's a work in progress and I look forward to new changes with the blog-tool. Speaking of going back in through blogger, it would be great to see a recent post with-in the tool, for easy access to editing your post that you published two days ago.

The 'star/add-to-del.icio.us' bookmark is great! One thing I would love to see added as "popular tags" - I think it's an important part of link-sharing to know what other people are tagging it with and therefor searching for.

Keep up the great, great work!

Oh! I just thought of something else. It would be amazing to somehow mesh tags for your own blog-post with technorati tags... kind of how the 'star' feature works, two birds with one click.

Very slow to launch. Also very slow to open a new window. That is definitely my biggest issue w/Flock right now. It's not just a bit slow. It's incredibly slow to launch compared to any other browser I use (Safari, Camino, IE, iCab...). While all the Mozilla-based browsers are a bit slow to start up on Macs, Flock is an order of magnitude slower than the others.

As others have said, the blog editor could still use a bit of work.

del.icio.us bookmarking needs work too. I get asked my user name/password two or three times when trying to add a bookmark. After I was already asked when Flock started up.

Would also be nice to have a list of your current tags when adding a bookmark to del.icio.us as there is if doing so directly thru del.icio.us' site.

Keep up the good work though! I still think it's quite possible Flock will eventually become my default browser.

I love this browser madly and I abandoned ship from FireFox to come here. I do have one issue in particular that drives me insane: BOOKMARKS.

There is no rhyme nor reason when it comes to cataloguing things. in Firefox, I could have a folder called Personal, and within that three other folders that each contained bookmarks. But in Flock, there is no folder hierarchy, which makes for some very messy organizing of links.

Also, when I enter a password and click to remember it, Flock won't always remember it. The user name, yes. But I always haev to retype in the password - which sort of defeats the purpose of the 'always remember' feature.

And just because three is such a nice, round number -- A journal tool like Deep Sender would be exquisite. I loved that as well as a number of the extensions, but after losing my bookmarks three times in FF, I had to switch. I still do miss some of their features, though.

Bottom line: LOVE this browser and I'm so glad that you came into my life. Keep up the great work!

Most of this falls into the sad "me too" set of comments, but it seemed like it would be worth it to really try to nudge you folks in the direction I want you nudged.

Basically it boils down to two things:

I love the display features of the RSS client and (like dominik) it's the main reason I keep banging my head against Flock. I do agree that the user-checkable boxes are a little wonky, but my big problem is that I'm such a feed junky that I must totally choke Flock when I open the newsreader up. Usually at least half my feeds don't show updates newer than a week, and there's no way to manually check feeds.

I'll also join the chorus of people who'd just like a clearer idea of what's up and coming in development (and maybe even some timelines, even if they aren't as soon as we might like-- we're demanding for people signing up for a freebie).

In a somewhat distant third place is the blogging tool, because I pretty much assume that the market isn't there for trying to tie in the "friends only" posting level that keeps me at LiveJournal. I just want to make my (former) employers and (current) clients have to work at it if they want to find out how much I complain about them.

Things I would like to see in Flock:
- a French version
- possibilité of sub-folder to organize my favorites, especially in the toolbar (Firefox allows it). Only one folder level sucks...
- RSS feed for the extension gallery.
so I can be informed as new extensions are uploaded.
- Names of tab that haven't been viewed yet in italic or different color (like in Tab Mix Plus for Firefox)
- more stability: browser crashes, is slow or unresponsive most of the time...
- html in snippets
