Mac Browsers

For a while, I have been switching browsers on Mac on a daily basis.

1- Safari is a very nice and polished browser, but has major problems with internationalized pages and crashes once in a while. Does not support plug-ins. Not my preferred browser at all. Excellent for simple searches and general web browsing. However, the development builds (Webkit nightly builds) shows there are numerous improvements I hope we see soon in next releases.

2- Firefox was my favorite browser in windows. But in OS X it is far from perfect. Its very slow, and is a different beast in comparison with other OS X softwares. It is excellent to have all those nice plug-ins I had on Windows, here on a Mac. Firefox in OS X is very slow and is no way like its windows version. Firefox is a software which is designed for Windows, not for Mac.

3- Camino is the little sister of Firefox, using the same engine with a Mac interface. It is something between Safari and Firefox. So far I had the best web browsing experience with this browser on Mac. However, It is almost as unstable as safari. And no plug-in support. But its very fast and feels much more like a OS X native software than Firefox.

4- Other browsers including Opera, Shiira, SeaMonkey, ... . I would suggest you do not waste time on these browsers (on Mac). They seem to lost their goal. People want to enjoy web browsing. I really don't want to switch from one browser to other on my daily browsing journey.
