Comments on: Flock Ships the Social Browser http://gigaom.com/collaboration/flock-ships-the-social-browser/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:55:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: John B http://gigaom.com/collaboration/flock-ships-the-social-browser/#comment-65500 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 20:35:31 +0000 http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/11/05/flock-ships-the-social-browser/#comment-65500 So, this comment isn’t about Flock – it’s about a statement you made in the article.

In the article, you refer to Adblock Plus as one of your “essential extensions.” As somebody who presumably makes a living writing for ad-supported webstes it doesn’t really seem right. I understand if you’re just using it to block the really annoying pop-ups & layer ads, but if you’re blocking all ads while making a living from showing ads to other people it seems less than perfectly honest, (I can’t really find the right word to go there – but I think you get the point).

This is something that I’d like to hear more on – perhaps you could even write an article on it. If you feel this comment is too off-topic, go ahead and delete it – I won’t be offended.

While I understand the value of the tools and icons within that area, the massive girth is enough to turn me off using this browser. The problem stems from the fact that I don’t use a social bookmarking service, so my too-wide bookmark toolbar is not left with enough horizontal space.
