Thanks WickedKitten for this. Camino, the gecko-based web browser optimized for Mac has bred another official update from its 0.8 milestone check point. At the version number of 0.8B, Camino features the new icon set, Google search filed in toolbar, new book mark system, and many more!

Changes:

  • A new look and icon set (a graphite set will be made available shortly)
  • Upgraded Gecko HTML rendering engine to 1.7final from 1.0, yielding performance and web page rendering enhancements, as well as a large number of bug-fixes
  • A more-compact download manager UI
  • Entirely rewritten bookmark system, capable of importing Safari, IE, and Mozilla bookmarks, with Rendezvous and Address Book integration and multi-level undo support
  • "Top Ten" bookmark collection, based on your ten most-visited sites
  • Searchable bookmarks
  • Google search field in toolbar
  • Ability to manage individual cookies, sorting and editing cookie allow/deny lists
  • Ability to unblock popups on a per-site basis (popup white-listing)
  • User profile migrated to ~/Library/Application Support/Camino
  • Incremental, type-ahead find in the content area
  • Automatic size-to-fit for image images larger than the viewable content area
  • Hundreds of smaller improvements and bug-fixes to the user interface

    Camino hasn't been updated for a while. This update adds a lot of features.

    While Windows software updates is our main focus, we are not always bound to that limitation. We have sections for Linux and Mac in the forum, so why not cover Mac and Linux downloads for those guys?

    They do it to keep Mac users like myself happy.
    I rarely ever visit Mac-only sites. Neowin has PC & Mac, both of which I use everyday.

    whats the point of camino? what can it do that safari/firefox cant?
    Quote this comment #4.1 Posted by tapo on 22 May 2004 - 06:13
    It's written in Cocoa, so it's a lot nicer and faster then Firefox on Mac OS X.

    Firefox on OS X still is pretty good though, has it's own aqua-ish theme.

    is camino really worth using? i mean firefox is made by the same people...i dont really like the look of firefox...and camino looks lovely? is it really so unstable you cant use it for day to day use? or is that just a disclaimer.
