ZEALOT6 Great browser. I felt compelled to write this, because in the past six months I have been literally THROUGH it with every Mac browser under the sun. I grew restless with Safari because it was hogging up my computer all the time, so I was trying to see which would be suitable for my needs. I tried everything from Firefox to Flock. Camino was very fast, however even in the new release it seems to hang on flash animations on my computer. Firefox...was...Firefox. And everything in between was just mediocre. Now, I guess it didn't make much sense to go through the gamut when I already had Safari. Just that Safari is somewhat jealous and doesnt like to share the CPU while it's doing it's thing, with OTHER applications. I am always doing more than one thing so it is essential I be able to do a myriad of things while online.
However, after all these months of subterfuge and driving myself insane, I am right back at Safari 3.1.1. and have settled on it. What sets it apart from the others for me is the keychain password store and overall stability. It was the most stable for me out of the ones I tried, actually. And it doesn't hang on those animations...at this point it is obvious I just HATE that! Now I can't say it feels the fastest, for me personally anyway. However, I have learned through all this that no web browser fits my definition of *perfect.* Each browser brings something to the table that sets it apart, although they essentially do the same thing. I found it just simply boils down to what you can and can't live with in a browser.
