It wasn't bad, but I found it quite quirky. I really disliked the way it handles bookmarks. I guess I'll stick with Safari since I haven't found anything better. I tried Sunrise recently.

Safari is stable and fast enough but just doesn't do it for me, and I've never liked Firefox (sorry!). On Windows I'm a big fan of Opera, but the user interface feels a bit at-odds with OS X, even using different themes. I tried Shiira recently and thought it was brilliant, but the latest version has several bugs and it doesn't appear to be in development anymore? A real shame if that's the case. Never heard of Sunrise, but it looks interesting. I'll give it a try and see if it can replace my current Safari-Opera-ie4osx (an outdated IE running in Darwine, to access my online banking which doesn't acknowledge the existence of anything other than Windows XP and IE6).

I get the Gecko engine, really fast startup and browsing, and really small footprint on my hard drive, and little to no bloat. As far as I'm concerned, Google Chrome is playing catch-up to K-Meleon. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a browser for OS X that meets these criteria. The only one I haven't tried yet is Sunrise. Any suggestions?

I've tried Safari, Opera, Camino etc, but nothing compares to Firefox. I agree with @Zubin.
