Safari vs. Camino

Postby hartlandcat » Mon 22 Dec, 2003 6:24 pm

I've installed Camino, have been using it for about an hour and am very impressed to far. Both look great, have tabbed browsing, are able to display most sites correctly (apart from those few designed explicitly assuming everyone uses IE6, which I don't visit anyway), and are secure. I like the fact that Camino is totally open source and is so standards compliant (as it's based on Gecko). I like the way Safari renders coloured table borders, and I also have this mysterious love for KHTML. Safari is also useful to users in the way that it's slightly more forgiving of HTML errors than Camino is, and supports more proprietary code.

So... which do you prefer, and why is the one that you prefer better than the other?

Oh, and one more thing: If you've never used both Safari and Camino, please don't vote on this poll. Don't vote because you prefer Gecko or KHTML, or Apple vs. the Mozilla Foundation etc., as this will mess up the results.

One reason why I'm not a fan of Camino is I want more then 16 tabs. Safari and Firebird let you do this (though in Firebird, the tabs just run of the edge of the window,) but Camino doesn't.
