[QUOTE="claudius753, post: 206787, member: 10917"] I switch back and forth from Camino to Safari. If you want plugin nirvana, Firefox is the way to go, but I don't like it on Mac. I know it's superficial, but the buttons and text widgits look like windows because of XUL which I can't stand. Camino keeps the great Gecko rendering engine but it doesn't have plugins nor does it have inline spellcheck or the ability to handle RSS feeds. I don't need Camino to be able to subscribe and read feeds, just tell me they are there so I can click the button (as in Safari's blue RSS button in the address bar) and hand the feed of to my reader of choice (NNW) I like the Mozilla team's work, and Camino will eventually resolve my issues (marked for 1.1) and also Firefox will eventually be more Mac-ish. Safari has the ultimate in Mac looks and integration. Camino is what balances the line between Safari and Firefox for me. BTW wicker_man, Camino says it requires 50MB of disk and 10.2 or better with 128MB RAM, so it should work for your G3. Maybe give that a try? [/QUOTE]
