Which browser do you use? Your Mac comes pre-loaded with Safari, a world-class option on its own that now has extensions you can add for even more functionality. Mozilla Firefox has wiggled it's way into many Mac users' hearts with its speed and virtually unlimited amount of useful add-ons. Opera is another great choice with its Speed Dial favorites pages, tons of added features, and its sleek and skinnable interface. All of these are good choices depending on the features you want, but there's also something to be said for simplicity.

If you just want a simple and stylish browsing experience without a lot of added bells and whistles, check out Camino. This light and agile browser is based on the Mozilla engine like Firefox, but was built from the ground up to fit well within the entire Mac OS aesthetic. Light on it's feet, Camino doesn't foist countless features on you, concentrating more on the basics of browsing the Web in style. This latest version includes several security fixes, fixes Flash issues, and other minor enhancements.

Also this week we have unpkg, the utility that lets you unpack package installers to let you look at and use the files included in the archive without installing the application. Our game this week is Jalada Ultimate Racing, the realistic auto racing game with 40 fine-tuned cars, more than 30 tracks, and 50 opponents to race against.

Don't forget to check out our iPhone apps of the week!
