As the previous user responded, it renders quicker than other browsers, and what I really like is that it seems to handle Flash movement a lot more steadily and accurately than the other browsers. Not that a fraction of a second render time is really noticable to the naked eye, nor will it make or break your life, it's nice to see that this browser is responsive.

I can't say that I have really had EXTENSIVE experience with Camino, so I am going purely upon a "newbie" opinion here. The last time I used Camino was when they had that absolutely horrid car icon, I swore never to use it again, though with this revision I tried it and really like the evolution of this browser. And finally with this app. there is an icon that looks nice in my dock!

As for the one user who wants a warning message upon closing a window, how about this, DON'T CLICK THE CLOSE BUTTON ON THE TAB if you don't want to close the window, that eliminates the need for yet another gaudy pop-up w arning! Also, perhaps you should try NOT banging your head against brick walls, that just may eliminate the need for a BETTER headache remedy for you! ;-)

I alos like the fact that you can right-click and modify your toolbar in Camino, I wonder if there are many skins available...

Though one thing annoys me, for example in Yahoo mail, the big grey square/rectangle buttons in your menu on screen (ala Firefox style)... those REALLY need to be changed to something else, this is the Apple environment, we need form and function, the very reason why we stay away from PC's, oh, another reason... they suck. But these "little details" are the most important ones.

I'm also wondering about the security of this browser, Firefox thus far holds the trophy with security, if anyone knows, please let us here know.

Overall, thus far, very impressed with this browser. LIke the evolution it's making. I'd like to know more about the details of the app though.

Cheers.
