Camino is winning me over

In previous bloggage I expressed a great displeasure for Camino. I thought it too ugly without any upside.

Things change.

I've all but retired Netscape, my browser of choice for years. The number of sites that it doesn't render properly has grown substantially over time. I keep it around for accessing obscure, or questionable sites—a canary I send into a coal mine. I think it's important to keep one browser around that you're not afraid to get tainted, that you let accept all cookies, all pop ups ... all the crud.

I've also started to use a speedy little weirdo browser called Sunrise for reconnaissance missions.

Shiira has fallen completely out of favor and has been removed from my computer.

Opera is still on my computer. I update it from time to time, but I've removed its icon from my Dock ... a near fatal blow.

Safari is still in the Dock, but I never use it. It's a slow, fragile browser. Thin and weak, I think.

Firefox is still in my Dock, but I can't dance to it. It just doesn't feel "Mac" to me. I fire it up from time to time to get into retarded web sites, like Farmers Insurance, that do a browser check and won't even let you try to use Camino.

I still miss the way Netscape handles many things.
