Explorer: no longer supported, but will browse the U.S. Government Patent Drawings pages perfectly. Safari does not.
Netscape: still alive as it is recommended by T-Mobile U.S.
Safari: quick and nice, but not supported for album views and previewing ringtones on T-Mobile’s U.S. site
FireFox: slower than Safari but supports T-Mobile’s products
I find using Safari the most fun, but have to switch over to another browser when it comes to specific needs. These are usually poorly (IMHO) designed sites that were made for Windows by Windows with no consideration of Macs (Revenge of the nerds.)
Tabs are only for the current instance (session) right? Otherwise they would be bookmarks I guess. Why does my start page appear as the first tab every time I open Safari? I can Cmd click on a link or bkmark and the tab shows up all right, and I can click back and forth. But sometimes when I add a tab the first one in line disappears. The start page tab always disappears. My verdict is crazy.
I think I like Opera best, although I’m not proficient yet and don’t have a lot of bkmarks.

Because you either did NOT hold down the Cmd key when clicking on a Link; or you did not use Cmd T (to open a NEW Tab) before using Google or a similar website.
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set network.http.pipelining to true
Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to true
Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0 . This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
On my machine Firefox is faster going from one page to another in this forum (and most elsewhere) than changing channels with the remote on the family TV.
Camino’s tabs are much like Safari’s (with the little "x–click here to close tab" toggle right on the tab itself). This is much more logical than placing it all the way to the right of the browser screen like Firefox does.
Camino’s overall GUI seems more Mac-like too (interface hacks for Firefox notwithstanding).
"This is much more logical than placing it all the way to the right of the browser screen like Firefox does."
From what I remember reading, Firefox 2.0 will be putting little "×" "Close Tab" buttons on each tab. And we Firefox users have been able to add this functionality through an extension (now called "add-ons") for quite awhile.
