I have tried Camino on my 867MhZ Titanium Powerbook running
Leopard and my 1.42GhZ Mac Mini running Tiger, and it is pretty
nice on both of them (anybody want to try running Vista Aqua on
an 867MhZ machine :-).

I use Firefox for most of my work, particularly when doing web
development with the web-dev and firebug plug-ins.  I use Safari
primarily for casual browsing where I may not want the blocking
provided by the Noscript plug-in.  It remains to be seen how much
I use Camino.

The only time I run a browser on Linux these days is when using
Firefox on remote systems for router configuration, swat Samba
configuration, and similar jobs (often under vnc in an ssh tunnel
as it seems faster that way).
