I’m not exactly sure I understand your analogy.

Camino is to Safari (IMO) what Firefox is to IE (to a much lesser degree of course).

I’m so confused

Shiira is like Safari on crack. It has major, crippling bugs (inability to handle XML files) that Safari doesn’t have. And to me at least the user interface looks worse tha Safari’s, not better. But that’s just my own opinion. The XML handlng bugs, though, are inexcusable.

And Shiira has terrible downloading options. It is blazingly fast though.

I’m just happy to have the reload and stop loading functions on different buttons. Maybe it’s just me and my ancient hardware, but I frequently found myself clicking “stop” in Safari and not having the click register until after the page had finished loading. By then, Safari thought I was saying, “reload” so it retrieves the page I didn’t want to load again.
