To my mind, Camino is the most usable browser on OS X. It's open source, and built on the same Gecko engine that powers Firefox.
It offers fewer features than either Safari or Firefox, and has fewer fans, I'm pretty sure. But Safari is agonizingly sluggish and crash-prone on my Intel Mini. Every few weeks I try it out again and quickly run back to Camino.
Firefox is way better than Safari for me, especially since version 3, but its non-native widget set and weirdnesses like ligatures in monospace fonts make me unhappy. Also it has grievous problems with embedded video.
Camino 1.6 isn't a giant, earth-shaking release, but it includes its share of new features: auto-updating like Firefox's, inline find like Firefox's, a scrolling tab bar like Firefox's – here's a complete list. If it could handle Firefox extensions, we'd have a real powerhouse on our hands.
