For Those who don't know about Camino:
The Camino Project has worked to create a browser that is as functional and elegant as the computers it runs on. The Camino web browser is powerful, secure, and ready to meet the needs of all users while remaining simple and elegant in its design.

Camino combines the awesome visual and behavioral experience that has been central to the Macintosh philosophy with the powerful web-browsing capabilities of the Gecko rendering engine. Built and tested by thousands of volunteers, Mozilla’s Gecko brings cutting-edge innovations and capabilities to users in a standards-friendly and socially responsible form.

Sure, you can use a typical web browser, with typical features. Or you can use a browser that “also” supports the Mac. Or you can use a browser you have to pay for. What if there was one that offered everything, for free?

That browser is Camino. Camino makes your web experience more productive, more efficient, more secure, and more fun. It looks and feels like a Mac OS X application should, because it was designed exclusively for Mac OS X and the high standards set by Mac users. You’ll see the entire internet the way it was intended. Camino is the browser that gets out of your way, and that means Camino users need not worry about things they shouldn’t have to.

A little something for all TE mac users :D

^is Safari any good these days? i used to use it before but i haven't used any of my macs for the internet in about a year or so. it was pretty good back then but i prefered using Omniweb for some reason. any big changes in Safari now?
 
Not any major change.. but it is minimal and starts up faster than any other browser.

Another problem with Camino and FF on Mac is that they don't display Hindi fonts properly.

As I visit quite a few Hindi sites, I prefer Safari.

I feel Omniweb is a bit heavy.

Do try out Shiira. It is another brilliant browser. And it is made by the Japanese :p
 
yea that's true. Omniweb was heavy indeed but i had gotten very used to it by the time Safari came out so i just continued.. will check out that new browser sometime :) thanks. btw what mac are you using?
