Looking for an alternative to Apple's Safari or Mozilla's Firefox? Then why not take a look at Mozilla's other offering, Camino.
Camino evolved from being a side project of Mozilla into a fully fledged open source browser for Mac. Built over the Mozilla architecture, it functions in a very similar way as Firefox, is as secure, yet offers a different sort of interface. The slight advantage over Firefox is that its much more lightweight and it won't eat up memory like the latter.
Camino offers a limited degree of customization allowing you to add, remove and reorder all the search engines your own way. As far as passwords go, Camino also integrates with Keychain for storing all your passwords and certificate. However, there are several drawbacks.
One of them is that browsing simply isn't as fast as in Firefox. It's not unusual to see the spinning wheel of death occasionally as Camino processes certain pages. In addition, I kept receiving a strange error message related to the disk image it was being run from which kept popping up. However, the main drawback, is that unlike Firefox, Camino doesn't offer addons so you can't customize it half as much.
If you're really sick of Firefox hogging your memory, then Camino might be for you but for most people used to the extendability and customization of Firefox, it's not exactly up to scratch.
