Camino

Yesterday, I downloaded Camino to test if it was worth it since Firefox is just a Windows port to MAC.
The install was simple, just like any other MAC app, and the bookmark import feature imported all my bookmarks from Safari in a snap.

It uses the Firefox engine so the pages load as quickly as Firefox but there are some incompatibility issues, especially in Blogger, in some webpages. The Spell checker doesn't work ( it doesn't work in Safari 3 either ) and some of the sidebar plugins look awful. Some also webpages lagg when scrolling

The look is MAC like, since that's the main purpose of the browser. The only thing that's missing is are the addons but I didn't use them that much so, no big deal.

If you're using a MAC and want a nice alternative to Firefox, Camino is the browser for you. Sometimes it might suck but most of them is quite nice.
