If you are a sucker for Japanese gizmos (or should that be "gizmodos"? hint), you are fortunate enough to use a Mac and you collect browsers -- you can pleasantly merge your obsessions by trying Shiira, a Japanese web browser. It is still beta, so you should expect some crashes or other anomalies but not too often. It is stable enough already to be used as a full time browser.

They say "Shiira is a web browser based on Web Kit and written in Cocoa. The goal of the Shiira Project is to create a browser that is better and more useful than Safari. All source code used in this software is publicly available." The fact that it is based on Apple Web Kit means stuff it's going to be rendered by the KHTML engine exactly like it does in Safari, so not many surprises awaits you on this one. There is a growing collection of toolbar icons on their site and you'll find more on the web.

And if you must know -- "Shiira is the Japanese word for dolphin fish (not the mammal 'dolphin'!) or dorado, also known as 'mahi mahi' in Hawaiian."
