And to be honest, it’s the stripped-down-ness that really attracts me with Camino…

However – I’ve noticed that Camino can’t handle either my online banking service (both Firefox and Safari does, though) nor my Nucleus bookmarklet… ARRGH! Perhaps I should try out Shiira afterall?

Before I found out about Shiira, Camino was my “best Safari alternative”, now I go for Shiira.

Firefox never convinced me in terms of usability, stability and design but it still remains an usefull tool when you have to access one of those bad-coded website that works with IE only.

Another browser that deserves at least to be mentioned is Flock. It’s still in “heavy development” but at least it the first attempt of re-thinking the overall concept of “web browser”.

I had switched from FF to Safari when FF crashed one too many times, and now after testing Camino, I’ve returned back to Safari. It’s just better integrated with the OS. I prefer having PDF files loaded in the browser instead of downloaded to the desktop (Safari then gives you the option to open the file in Preview), and I, for one, use Safari for RSS feeds because it’s so much more convenient to browse the net and check your feeds using the same application. And I absolutely love Inquisitor.

Here’s another one to try:

Escape should replicate the functionality of the Stop button. I open a new window, it begins to load Google, set as my homepage. I hold the Esc key, see the URL switch to about:blank, highlight the location bar and begin typing the URL I *want* to go to, and in that time Google has loaded, jumped my cursor into *its* search bar and the latter 2/3s of the URL I began typing goes there.

Escape should be Stop should be Stop loading.

Every browser I’ve ever used refreshes on F5 and jumps to the location bar on F6. Camino…nada. That’s a broken piece of software to me.
