There was one annoyance: When you type a web address in the address bar, it searches Google for it instead of taking you directly there.
The app loaded blindingly quick within 2 Dock bounces, and the pages loaded extremely fast. I had never heard of it before this test, and I was very surprised by it. Sunrise was another browser pointed out by fellow user of older Macs, and I was very impressed with it. Radon started off as a good browser, it was quite fast and rendered pages properly. The app opened fine and was very quick, but halfway through rendering pages, it kept quitting. Is fast speed on old machines was touted as one of its best features. I was pointed to the Demeter browser by a fellow G3 enthusiast and was looking forward to trying it. The app took a few more bounces on the Dock to load than most other browsers, but once open, pages loaded quite quickly and were rendered properly. It is very unstable, and while it has gotten better with each new revision, it still has a long way to go.

Firefox 2 requires Mac OS X This was extremely fast - even on this aging G3 - and it rendered pages perfectly. The added bonus of having hundred of plugins for everything you could think of, makes this a highly customisable browser.
As you would imagine, it is a lot slower to load than the others, and pages take a little while to load, but it renders them fine. A rock solid browser, which is incredibly fast even on my PowerBook with the usual features that are standard in browsers these days like tabs and password remembering. Camino is a neat and tidy browser, and with most older Macs not supporting the higher resolutions of more modern Macs, screen space is more of an issue - and this slim and trim browser helps maximise the browser window.
