What's with Safari these days? It's been pissing me off with the ever frequent beachball (Mac OSX's equivalent of the busy hour glass).

The last straw came when I had to forcefully terminate whilst working on some AJAX scripts.

I turned to Camino, a mac specific browser based on the same Gecko rendering engine that made Firefox famous for its accuracy in rendering webpages.

Specially created for the Mac, Camino is tightly integrated using native Cocoa.

The only thing that you might miss from Safari is probably Sogudi, a plugin that allows you to do instant wikipedia searches like "wikip manhattan project" or google searches with "g steve yang".

A quick google search provided the answer.

Here's it:

Just open Show All Bookmarks, add a new Bookmark, for instance:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s&go=Go

and assign a keyword. Like "wp". Then, type wp Camino in the location bar, et voila!

Enjoy!
