I just tried to buy a subscription to TV Guide at their website (https://subscriptions.tvguide.com/subscribe.aspx?prd=81&tpl=117&prm=525). My default browser is Safari with Camino a close second (I don't like Camino's autofill or lack thereof). Safari showed the page for a few seconds and then blanked out, hence, I could not order the mag. Camino had no problem but I had to fill in the blanks by hand. Seems Safari still has problems with https sites.
 
Yeah, Safari still has a few probs, but as much as I loved Chimera when the 0.1 version came out, it's nothing today. Nothing. If you need a lightweight Mozilla variant, Firefox beats Camino so badly, it hurts my old Mac heart...try it, and see if you can go back to Camino. I couldn't.
 
I have not encountered any problems with Safari on financial sites since 1.2.1 (included in the OS X 10.3.3 update) other than the occasional Microsoft Windows only site that won't work with anything except Internet Explorer 6 running on Windows and those won't even work with Explorer 5.2 on either the Mac or PC.

But if you like a Mozilla variant, I have to say that at the moment Firefox has surpassed Camino and it seems as if Camino development has really slowed down. :(
 
Have you tried the latest camino builds? They have definitely put some zip back into the browser...at least it seems that way on my machine.
