Although I really like Firefox, and Safari isn't bad either, any of these or other Mac browsers have "gained my respect".

Camino is the only Mac native browser that is comfortable and nice enough for me, and still keeping highly stable and light-weight.

However, I miss some of the features I had with other browsers, most of all with Firefox extensions:

  • Tab-bar on the left and tab previews (OmniWeb, Shiira)
  • Tree-style tabs (Firefox extension)
  • Saving web page to a single file (Safari's .webarchive or Firefox's MHT extension).
  • Full-screen browsing (Shiira)

This comment is based on Camino 1.6.7, which is the version of Camino I'm currently using; it may have some of these features in future versions.

Anyway, Camino is the only browser I love using on my Mac, especially for it being stable, light-weight and Mac-native.

What is Camino?

Camino (Spanish for way/path/road) is a free, open source, GUI-based Web browser based on Mozilla's Gecko layout engine and specifically designed for the Mac OS X operating system. In place of an XUL-based user interface used by most Mozilla-based applications, Camino uses Mac-native Cocoa APIs, although it does not use native text boxes.

It used the Aqua user interface and integrated a number of OS X services and features such as the Keychain Access icon Keychain Access for password management and Bonjour for scanning available bookmarks across the local network. Other notable features included an integrated pop-up blocker and ad blocker, and tabbed browsing that included an overview feature allowing tabs to be viewed all at once as pages.
