A Mac Browser Better Than Firefox?

Firefox has come to be regarded as an standard web browser for both Mac and Windows users. For the most part it is safe, secure, and very functional.

But I learned something new today on my jaunt down to my local Apple store. There is a better browser than Firefox for Mac. It's called Camino.

Camino uses the same Gecko engine used by Firefox and looks very much the same. One big difference though. It's fast. Firefox is a memory hog, especially when you have a lot of tabs open. For some reason Camino hardly uses any memory compared to Firefox.

Sometimes in Firefox it would hang up if I tried to open a new tab and follow a link at the same time. Not so with Camino.

Camino also comes with some great features for those developers out there. You can save you session to return at another time. In the preferences section you can have Camino start with the same sites open when you quit. Of course it has normal spell checker. Integration with Keychain is an added bonus. Feed detection is standard so subscription is super easy.

Essentially Camino is Firefox optimized for Mac.

Maybe we can get some addons for it? It is open source.
