Camino Browser - Forefox power - Safari looks
Camino Browser is a great new web browser claiming to be as powerful as Firefox (as it is based on Mozilla technology). Camino Browser is one of the new wave of softwares that will run on both Mac AND PC thanks to the new Mac Intel dual-core chipset. It looks great and for all those PC users wanting the beauty of the Safari interface without having to buy a Mac, it is THE WORKS!

Mac *and* PC? Not so much… Camino is based on the Gecko HTML rendering engine (same as Firefox) but is written entirely in Objective-C with the Cocoa API. Hence: totally Mac. It’ll play nice with any sites that play nice in Firefox though, that much is spot on. What it has in spades is under-the-hood Mac power. It’s leveraged the Gecko engine for maximum compatibility (something Safari lacks because of WebKit, whether it passed the Acid2 test or not) while also tapping into a ton of other core OS X services — Address Book integration, Bonjour/ZeroConf services discovery, and Keychain Access for password management. All that plus a superior UI and rich bookmark management.
Fair point F_D but it has got be a crack that someone will try at some point in the future! Then again, looking at the latest Office 2007 video, MS are fast catching up on the UI front - but your point about what goes on underneath the bonnet is without doubt better, safer and more powerful.
