I do have Firefox 2/3, IE 6/7, Opera 9, Maxthon and some other browsers too, at times you don’t need so many browsers, but that’s my job so I have to keep all those. Flock is a kind of add on browser in your machine unless until you are an active member of social internet world.
But it’s always good to know something is available in the market and we don’t know, keep watching more stuff on the blog.
