[QUOTE="Meyvn, post: 69811, member: 7539"] The fastest browser I've ever seen/heard of is Shiira. It's Japanese-built, so while you can use it in English, it's difficult to find upgrades for it, as the developers speak Japanese. The buttons also suck by default. You can get new buttons, though; there's a Safari replica theme for it that's basically perfect. The one problem is, I think it still uses a rendering engine no better than Safari (the main fault with the browser in the first place), which is why I stick with Firefox. Safari just can't handle certain websites properly (funnily enough, it used to be that Safari couldn't render certain parts of Apple homepage properly from what I've heard). It really all depends on what you like, though. Most people just get certain feelings about this browser or that one and make their decisions based on that. The speed differences between Safari, Firefox, Shiira, and Camino, from my experience, have not been terribly significant. I wouldn't know about older versions obviously because I'm a newcomer to Macs. but the newer ones, which I have experienced, it's not a big difference typically. I'd just say use the one you like the look and feel of (and if the rendering engine is a big deal to you like it is to me, go with a Mozilla browser). [/QUOTE]
