Safari doesn't officially support plugins, but one cool one I've grown accustomed to is Inquisitor. Have you used it? http://www.inquisitorx.com/safari/ I have the same dilemma with Firefox and Safari, and I usually have them both open on my MBP.

So I still keep Firefox installed for certain browsing moments... Unfortunately Camino doesn’t offer the same sort of plug-in support that Firefox has.

Sounds like it might address some of my remaining complaints about Safari. I don't suppose it will work with Firefox plugins, will it? Thanks for reminding me about Camino, Andrew.

I've been a Safari user, but have recently been trying out Camino and have been quite pleased with its performance. I’m a huge fan of Firefox on Windows, but can’t stand it on my Mac.

Grab alpha 7 or one of the nightly builds. Memory usage is more than half that of FF2, it renders pages faster and on OS X it now renders form elements using Cocoa widgets. The downside is that very few extensions are qualified for FF3 yet. Some can simply have their install.rdf manifest changed, but the more complex ones require more substantial changes best left to the author. I much prefer Google Reader to Safari RSS, and it handles Atom feeds properly, unlike Safari. Firefox 3 has been stable enough for daily usage for some time.
