vlionI don't like Safari 4 on the Apple. Too slow, too much memory usage. Plus flash has a hard time being blocked. Flashblock is pretty important to me. Firefox has a similar problem.
Camino has flashblock built in. Teh Yay. HOWEVER. I found that the OmniGroup, who makes absolutely amazing Mac software, has a webbrowser for free: OmniWeb. I'm giving a spin, and frankly, on first impressions, it blows me away. Fast, fast, fast. Only problem is, I prefer the Firefox tab approach. I may be able to swap to that. I'll keep people posted, because I think good web browsers are of interest to everyone on the Web.
