Browsers

I think the phrase "building a better mousetrap" is going to be replaced by "building a better browser" in the future. No matter how much the internet evolves, browsers constantly seem to be a step behind and they are all filled with flaws.

I'm now back on Firefox which is good enough although it crashes on my Mac all the time and has a number of other flaws. I had been trying Camino, a kind of Firefox for Mac, but it just doesn't work. The Remember Password feature barely works and it seems slower on a lot of sites, especially ESPN. I downloaded Opera but that browers simply didn't work on certain sites and also had the issue of loading up the page from the last time you visited. When you go to a site, you get whatever is in the cache; you have to reload in order to get the actual up-to-date page. Finally Safari is fine but its kind of the basic, no frills browser. I haven't used Internet Explorer since I moved to Mac (and hated it when I had a PC).

So what else is out there? Why can't someone come up with a great browser? What features do you want on your personal browser? On Firefox I have a nice little bottom line/sports scores app. Is someone working on a kind of IPhone type browser? A browser which works as an organizer and internet browser? Something that you can modify so you can get alerts from things like your e-mail or Facebook account?

There has to be something out there (or, at least, on the horizon).
