In early 2008, AOL resigned as may be announced cessation support Netscape, Recommending them to port users Flock or Firefox. 3 years and almost 2 months later, ie a few days ago, people from Zynga announced that will stop support for social browser Flock (Which I bought earlier this year) on April 26 2011. That is over a week.
Announcement on flock.com like this:
Support for Flock browsers Will Be Discontinued as of April 26th, 2011. We Would like to thank our loyal users around the world for Their support, and we Encourage the Flock community to migrate in the coming weeks to one of the recommended web browsers Listed Below.
Browsers to which users are directed by those who have decided the fate of the social browser, are - obviously - the browsers that have been (and still are) the basis of Flock:
Since no further security updates will be provided to keep you safe on the web, we encourage all Flock users to upgrade to one of the two browsers listed below. Both are based on the same reliable technologies as Flock, and both are being actively maintained and improved. Also, each of the following browsers has a broad selection of add-ons and extensions to customize and extend their capabilities.
- Mozilla Firefox (Motor Flock 2.x)
- Chrome (Motor Flock 3)
Why ending story Flock? It seems that there was a "misunderstanding" with Mafia Wars And with FarmVille...
The Flock team joined Zynga in January, 2011 and is now working to assist Zynga in achieving their goal of building the most fun, social games available to anyone, anytime — on any platform.

Note: I do not know for how many users Stealth Settings does it matter this ad, but for me it is very bad news, and that's because almost 3 years Flock was my browser default. It didn't excel in speed, I didn't give in to the wind even after the quick access to everything social network I would have imagined, nor used it option to publish your blog directly from your browser. Instead I feel that I will miss a lot Feeds sidebarA feature that often is treated superficially by some browsers, or shows a sores brand Microsoft or it takes addons for his resuscitation. Too bad.
