Flock doesn't use Firefox - it uses parts of the Mozilla platform, eg. the Gecko rendering engine. They wrote their own interface on top of those. In a similar way, I'd doubt Flock would take the Chrome interface code. They'd use Webkit as used in Chrome and Safari for the engine, and potentially Chrome or Webkit's Javascript implementation. There's advantages there in that Webkit is more standards compliant than Gecko and supports CSS3 more fully. And it's not like they're starting from scratch - Webkit has been in development almost as long as Gecko. Don't confuse Mozilla with Firefox and Webkit with Chrome/Safari. Surely the report is wrong.

They'd lose support for plugins and Mac. Considering their still relatively small userbase, those are not minor features to drop, without having big impact. It's possible however, that they know something, that we don't. Chrome on the Mac might be closer to release, or Google has some radical plans in regards to plugins (dare we say monetization), which might be very appealing to a browser developer. BTW I love your blog! Switching to Google Chrome’s codebase in the short term doesn’t make much sense. They’d lose support for plugins and Mac.
