I've found the recent nightlies really usable on Panther, save for one or
two broken builds here and there.

I'm just waiting to see bug 222972 fixed, that's the only really nasty one.
I do use it for pages without frames right now.


Tried OmniWeb 5 the other night. Nice UI, /awesome/ tabs, but still not as
fast as Camino. Speed wins a spot on my HD over here on my 500-MHz Titanium.

I like the UI of OmniWeb, even the rendering in general of the WebCore/WebKit browsers. But especially as a web developer I need a reliable browser, and a fast one as well. Camino is the only browser imho that delivers the best combination of all: osx integration, speed, and most importantly, _reliability_. I mean, Safari is for me an IE-like experience: I'm never really sure whether he's caching a problem I've already solved, or if it is still my mistake (even using the debug window). Such situations can get me mad. Same applies to OmniWeb. And while for reading news Safari is suitable because it has this IE-like behavior of fast "back" and forward buttons, as soon as you disable the cache it turns out to be much slower than Camino. And try having more than 5 tabs and 2 windows, and watch the memory and performance WebKit browsers take... *g* that's by far not comparable to how Camino "scales".

Of course, the workspaces feature and the expos�-like tabs
are great in OW.  I guess there'll be room in Camino ~1.5 for something
like that... ;).

So far, so good, my ode to Camino, Mike, and all of the team who put down
awesome code :). Stick to your priorities, that's a _real_ focus
on quality assurance.
