[Ti] re browser troubles

[Wilhelm Wanders]

i use camino too. after trying it out next to safari i use it now as my 
standard web browser. it is significantly faster (i am on dsl) than 
safari, never gives me the spinning beachball (never) (i have 384mb 
ram, panther) and doesn't hog up too much hd space and way not as much 
ram as safari did ....
just give it a try :)

btw ... safari might be new,but since apple itself is the big daddy of 
it, i hoped forsome bettercodeing and compatibility.... i was and i am 
still impressed how nice it is,but camino IS 'nicer' :)
