I d'loaded Safari and Camino.
Side by side, at first take, I have to say Camino is seeing a good deal more use.
('course I've been sentimental to Mozilla for awhile)
It renders pages I would say at least twice as fast as Safari does on my machine (that's just my take) and I like the fact that it supports tabbed browsing and popup killing just as Safari does.
to the Camino project. Take care.

So far I like Camino.
Loads -all sorts of whatever- faster than IE and Safari on my boxes.
Something I noticed the other day though.
In just about any of the other browsers somewhere you can 'view' the loading process of files,pages etc. Either at the bottom of a page for example or up in the address bar.
Haven't been able to find the on/off switch for that feature in Camino.
For myself being on dialup,that is kind of a 'watch-must-have' feature. Meaning if -whatever- is too large .... later gator,when I have more time.

I guess I'm not sure what you're referring to.
Are you referring to a status bar at the bottom of the browser window (which on the edition I have shows a bar similar to Mozilla with progress meter on the right-hand side of the bar and a written status on the left-hand side).
Outside of that, Camino has it's own Download manager window (though it's not called that - that's a Mozilla thingy) that will allow you to bring to front to see the status.
Nothing out front right away, you're right, but I look at the status bar and normally I've got d'loads running in the background.
'Course, I'm on DSL at home and a dedicated circuit at work, so I don't have to worry about the dial-up problem. TOTALLY understand that issue, though, Bill, and can totally sympathize.
I did it for so long and finally took the plunge as my contract came up and jumped on Bell's $34.95 deal.
Works well.
My wife really likes it, but she doesn't understand why Mozilla is so much faster than IE (on the PC side, AND rendering on the Mac side - takes more to get the engine up on the Mac).......
Told her I thought it was great that she could use Mozilla.
I'm the M$ Police in our casa.
Take care, Bill.

Say you click into this.
With IE you have the progress [status] on how the page is loading at the bottom.
Safari is the same basically plus up in the address the bar slowly loads overlapping the url.
I haven't found a way to 'view' such a feature in Camino (if there is one) yet.
Now hush up on that speed-o internet talk. <gr>
What do you guys care.
Ya got it in a flash anyways.
