 Camino has a new fan

My browser relationships are usually pretty monogamous…I usually only switch if I’m not getting what I need from my current browser of choice, and it’s only temporary, I always come back to the one I left.

Recently, however, I found my relationship with Safari getting stale. It’s cool and all, but just didnt feel as smooth as I liked. There were a few issues that kept rearing their ugly heads, which would force me to wander over to Firefox every now and then. Now Firefox, she’s a cool one to, dont get me wrong, I couldnt have lived without her in the dark times (when i was forced to work on a pc). She’s pretty flexible, but, not be mean, she seems a little slow.

So, looking for something a little different, I had a quick fling with Opera. She was pretty sweet (actually, she’s got a pretty cute little sister too)…but, I dunno, it just didnt feel right.

Then, enter Camino. I started off not expecting too much, but she has really shined. What do I like most about her? I’m not really sure…it just feels good…maybe it’s because it just feels more like an OS X app than any of the others I’ve tried. She’s a quick one too, you should see how fast she loads her pages Things were working out so well I decided to get her a few things from Pimp My Camino, an extensions site, and they’ve really helped to solidify our relationship:

  • CamiTools - Adds a preference pane with a bunch more options (including cool syncronize bookmarks with ftp option).
  • Inquisitor - Cool predictive search (there’s a small price tag to unlock all the features, but I thought it was worth it).

One thing I didn’t see was a WebDeveloper-style extension…that would rock.

So, Camino’s pretty much won me over, and I think we’ll be together for a while.
