Just stumbled across Shiira, a Mac-only Web browser that uses the same Web Kit engine as Safari, but offers some fun extra features. First of all, it's written in Cocoa and it's a Universal Binary -- might be a welcome addition to your browsing arsenal if you've got a MacTel machine. Shiira is designed for heavy-duty browsing, with a number of features (such as "Bookmark All Tabs") that work well for surfers who tend to open a lot of windows and tabs and switch among them. Shirra also uses a sidebar/drawer interface element for History, Bookmarks, Page Holder (haven't seen that one in a while) and RSS feeds. The Google box can be changed to search all sorts of engines, including MacUpdate...all in all it's a very interesting package that seems to have been lovingly crafted. I'll let you know if I end up making the switch...or if I stick with Camino (currently running 1.0a1 and hardly a hiccup).

I've been using Camino 1.0.2 on my Compaq Hack-in-tosh and it runs pretty well, no crashes, no surprises. Safari would crash at least once a session. I tried Shiira and got the same results as Safari, once a session somewhere it would crash. for now I'll stick with Camino, at least until next week when my new MacBook arrives ;)
