I don't hear anyone say why they don't like Camino. It seems to be the best of both worlds....FF and Safari.
I don't like it because it doesn't have ColorSync support, Safari does. And in my opinion Safari has gotten so good with Leopard that there is really no need for any other browser.

Safari is a great browser - when it works. I hate randomly getting "Safari cannot find the server" as soon as I hit enter on a page I know is up (a page that works in other browsers). It's random and annoying. Forced me to temporarily switch to Firefox while I search for a solution or a better browser.

I'm not the only one, by the way. A quick google search shows lots of hits but no real solution.

I've been using Netscape Navigator for a few months now, and I really like it! Download it and try it out, I highly reccomend it.

I just downloaded Camino and wow.

If it doesn't start getting the random "cannot find server" crap like Safari and doesn't start hogging memory after 2 minutes like Firefox, I'm in love.

Really looking forward to Firefox 3. My understand is that the new version is more stable than FF2, renders colors correctly, doesn't have the memory drain of FF 2, and that it is blazingly fast.

I downloaded FF3 Beta 2 and it was the slowest POS I've ever used. Took up 30-70% CPU with only 4 tabs open and a crapload of memory. Uninstalled it, tried Camino, and I love it.

If only you could rearrange tabs...

I don't have a Mac yet but on my Windows system I use Mozilla Firefox and that probably won't change when/if I get my Mac.
