"A fast browser for Mac users, but I still recommend Safari"
Pros: Fast and light, easy for first-time users
Cons: Lack of extensibility might upset power users, lack of features might annoy some
Summary: When I migrated from PC to Mac about a month ago, I came from Windows XP and Debian GNU/Linux, in both of which I used Mozilla Firefox 2.0 as my browser of choice. Fast, responsive, and with my favorite extensions, Firefox was simply the best browser I could find for Windows, and the best browser I could use under Linux. I somehow stumbled onto the Camino project page at Mozilla's website when using Firefox for the Mac, and I was interested. Lighter on features than its more prominent and cross-platform cousin, I had to try it on my strapped-for-memory MacBook. And I rather liked it ... until I realized just HOW light on features it was. I had a tough time installing Flash support into Camino, and I missed my dear extensions from Firefox. The puky green "back" and "forward" buttons didn't much help matters.
In conclusion, Camino is a pretty good browser for the Mac, but it's in need of some work before I'll use it for everyday browsing.Updated
I originally stated that I'd recommend Safari, but no Macintosh user should limit him/herself to any one browser.
