Re: [Camino] Weird Display Gliches & Other Oddities

Maybe it didn't sound like i meant it to.

Camino's great and i think the team's doing an incredible job. Though  
i've switched away occasionally, i've preferreed it since early 2004.

I was just a little surprised by those few large gliches after even  
the trunk builds have typically worked well. Plus my system has been  
having troubles.

I may indeed switch to the branch build for a little while.  I wasn't  
sure how much of the latest stuff was included on the branch.

I didn't mean to sound like a whiner.  Camino's brilliant.  With  
upgrades to the built-in ad-blocking style sheet, and specific tweaks  
i learned how to make in my userContent.css file, i even have few ad  
worries these days.
