Since I had already switched from Apple Mail to Microsoft Entourage, I am more open to trying more applications from other vendors. I have gone back and forth between different browsers numerous times, but I usually end up back at Safari.

Since I was making a few changes to my site/blog, I had to work a good bit from the Blogger web site. They really don’t support Safari but I have not had too many issues using it. I think they list spell checking as something that does not work but it has always worked for me. Publishing has always worked pretty well, but I have always had problems when I would need to republish the entire blog. It would get to a certain percentage and just hang there.

So I tried the same process with Firefox and Camino and not only did the republishing work without any problems, but I had a much richer editor to create my posts. I was missing out on a lot of features.

So I am back to Camino for now. I like Firefox, especially when you add in the Simpler Blue theme, but I still think Camino is a hair faster and is working great so far.

If you have been blindly using Safari since it has been out you may want to check out Camino and Firefox to see if you are missing anything. The speed will not disappoint.

UPDATE - as fast as I could post this I found a problem using Camino. I was expected an email to my GMail account and it hadn’t arrived yet. I am using entourage as a POP client to GMail. So I went to the GMail web interface to check the spam folder. When I clicked on the link for Spam it would not do anything. When I click on this same link using Safari or Firefox it worked perfectly. So I am over to Firefox until I get this one figured out. On a side note, does anyone know how to get a POP client to retrieve email from the Spam folder as well? 99% of the time I don’t need it but that 1%…

UPDATE 2 - And I’m back to Camino. Thanks to Chris for posting in the Comments, I found this link in the Camino support forums and found my answer.
