As a browser I think it is slower than Forefox. As a blogging tool, it is easier to drag and drop directly from a Flickr (or Photobucket) account and from a news feed than is Performancing for Firefox. Flock respects your categories and supports multiple blogs. It doesn't post as drafts, however. There is a wysiwyg and a code interface. It adds paragraph codes, which is annoying for WordPress (but I don't use the wysiwyg editor on WP). For aggregating material from on-line, Flock is better and easier than the native WP editing mode. Also, Flock will save your drafts locally, in a file location you designate. Performancing saves "notes" in the Firefox profile directory. Worth checking out. Mobile Learning uses Flock as a browser and as a blog tool. http://mlearning.edublogs.org/

Just be sure to <b>cancel</b> your Xinha editings. Otherwise, it replaces your content.
