Hi forum members and users of the Flock Web 2.0 browser,
Here is the full list of over 800 extensions for the Flock browser:

A nice add-on to the Adblock Plus and the G-Updater is Adblock Learner, I like this one and it really learns to block in the way you learn it.
By the way folks, remember to updateFF to 2.02!
polonus
thanks polonus for the flock extension link 
and already have updated FF :
I noticed that alongside FF 2.0.0.2 they released 1.5.0.10. So they are still supporting 1.5?
Firefox 1.5.0.x will be maintained with security and stability updates until April 24, 2007. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 2. : 
Hi Mac and DrHayden1,
Well wait for the FF 3.0, they are going to bring in various extra anti-phishing components (I have them running now inside my personal PocketFlock version, and took them out of the Deerpark source, after I tested Deerpark for a while), gonna apply for a major part with the newer standards for inter-activity. One thing I never have understood, why they did not bring in script blocking standard, so you could temporarily allow it with one button in the main menu bar, this would turn it into a more secure browser in one go. The same goes with the NETCRAFT toolbar, for me that could have been standard with various services. Then I like to see where I am going, that means the IP I visit in red in the toolbar, and a clean slate after a browser session, but the possibility to restore to a previous session through an inbuilt session manager. I all have this inside my Flock version, together with a way to see with a push on a button, all the scripts a particular site is running JS, CSS and what my browser is interchanging in the way of headers, etc. I have nuked and blocked all third party ads and banners from the browser, but that is my personal preference, and I think a lot of webmasters would not like it much as we all configured our browsers securely. It is not as secure as a Rich Text Only Linux Browser, but it is as near to the ideal model as I could get it.
I learned a lot having Leak Monitor running all the time, saving these records, visiting koders for some extra code for the main, and components file, visiting the Burning Edge to see what new (secure) code and bug patches are applied all the time, and I keep my browser patched, updated and very, very personal that way.
My personal flavor of the PocketFlock browser on USB on WinXP pro with Safe XP normal user account weighs 75.1 MB and 92.7 MB on disk, and in this version runs since Dec. 13th, and that is a lucky number for me. I gained a lot of insight doing all this, thanks to the avast webforum member’s inspiration,
Have many a nice and Avast malware free day, is my wish and my command,
polonus
Here is one of the ideas I have brought in to my Flock flavor:

My concerns about any phishing controls/checks are that it doesn’t bog down your system, I currently have the ff 2 phishing checks disabled. I don’t like the intrusiveness of it, either I have to download a list of sites, that may be out of date by the time it is downloaded and having to maintain it or have google check it for phishing.
Being a dial-up user I’m concerned about these additional checks taking up valuable bandwidth. So I believe this extra security functionality has to a balance between protection and performance/usability.
MS has I believe just released an update for IE7 because their phishing control digs too deep slowing the browsing experience.
Bit off topic but how do you think of OpenDNS? It requires no system resources but some people might be concerned of their privacy. Personally, I am using OpenDNS for our router.
Talking of FF 3.0, the group tab seems to be attractive. Die-hard 1.5 users may shift to Flock after the end of 1.5’s support period. I think it’s nice to have options.
I’ve been using it for quite some time.

I too have been using the opendns for some time, no it doesn’t use any system resources, but neither does the regular means of accessing a dns server.
Seems this is a common knowledge but somehow not surprising.
Using DNS cache for phishing protection is a neat idea: A layer of phishing protection without performance cost. When I was informed of this service first time, I was surprised by the idea but began to use it since I couldn’t think of any demerit as an end-user - Still can think of none even after using this service quite a while.
Still used in Linux distributions. I don’t know how the upcoming April date will affect that, but I assume that they will be backporting the older distros if they are not going to support 1.5. Many newer versions are now using 2.0 (including me).
I read, that in Windows, they’ll just push 2.0 through the Firefox update process. For security reasons innate to Linux, as I’m sure you’re aware, it doesn’t work that way. Most Linux users will just wait for the repositories to update, and use whatever version is made available. (Version .10 should be available next week.)
