Sometimes I like Safari, sometimes Firefox, Camino, Chrome or one of the others. I like to try out different browsers in hopes that I’ll find that one I love.
One browser I’ve started really liking is Stainless. Stainless is a Mac browser that runs off of Safari’s rendering engine, but has its own personality.

Stainless features include:
Sidebar Bookmarks
The bookmarks are in a vertical bar on the left side of the screen and they are just favicons so they take up much less room. It’s a new approach to bookmarks that focuses on the favicon and I love it.
We’ve been waiting and waiting for Google Chrome to come out for the Mac and, unfortunately, we have to wait some more. Unless, that is, you are adventurous. If you are, you can download Google Chromium; the development version of Google Chrome for Mac.
The good news here is that Google Chromium works pretty well. I’ve been running it for a few days with no crashes. It seems speedy, renders pages well and really impressed me for a pre-alpha browser.
I’ve downloaded Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.0 and I’m using it right now. I was all excited as I thought SeaMonkey would be Firefox+Thunderbird+Nvu all rolled into one. Not Quite.
First off, SeaMonkey has an identity crisis on it’s hands. I started it up and it felt like 1997 with Netscape 4.7. Seriously people, either make a default theme or make the ‘Modern’ theme default. People do judge on look and the Netscape 4.7 look is not good.
Second, some of the features I’ve come to know and love from Mozilla products are missing.
- Toolbar is not customizable.
