Camino
Mozilla power, Mac style
Camino is an open source web browser developed with a focus on providing the best possible experience for Mac OS X users.
The Camino Project has worked to create a browser that is as functional and elegant as the computers it runs on. The Camino web browser is powerful, secure, and ready to meet the needs of all users while remaining simple and elegant in its design.
Camino combines the awesome visual and behavioral experience that has been central to the Macintosh philosophy with the powerful web-browsing capabilities of the Gecko rendering engine.

2.0 is officially out. I've been using the betas for the past few weeks. I actually find myself preferring Camino now over the other choices.
Note: like many other apps, Camino can be enhanced with scripts.
See macdevcenter for more information.
The scripts can be launched either with the generic script icon in the system menu, or via a button in Camino's toolbar.
Some scripts for Camino are available here:

(compiled on 10.5.2, for 10.4+ only)
It would be a good to have the download link to the multilingual version instead of just the english version.
Printing a web page or saving to pdf often doesn't work properly: the first page is mostly empty, and the content is truncated (my test page contains a table with about 100 rows).
Actually, this very page also gets truncated when printed.
(Camino 1.5.5, Mac OS 10.4.11)
Using Camino (1.5.5) as primary browser, because I got tired of Safari's enormous RAM usage (v 3.0.4).
However, there's one thing quite annoying with Camino, that working great with Safari: the find in page function: while Safari 3 searches as you type, highlights the occurences and counts them, I find Camino very unreliable on this: even with 'wrap around' checked, it sometimes can't find a word that's on the page by searching forward (dialog box or G). (It works by searching backwards, though.)
Actually, to get close to full screen, there's Mega Zoomer you can run, but you can't hide the status bar. :)
Also, in case you wanted to watch galleries with Camino, note that it doesn't currently support embedded color profiles (compare Camino vs. Safari here and on this photo from a gallery).
It would be nice if it had a real full screen mode, eg: to play a flickr slideshow.
Apparently this feature has been dropped of the changes for 1.5.
To be fair, I can't get a full screen mode in Safari 2 or Firefox 2.
I'm glad Opera works on Mac OS, in full screen! :)
