Product Description:
The Camino Project has worked to create a browser that is as functional and elegant as the computers it runs on. The Camino web browser is powerful, secure, and ready to meet the needs of all users while remaining simple and elegant in its design.
Camino combines the awesome visual and behavioral experience that has been central to the Macintosh philosophy with the powerful web-browsing capabilities of the Gecko rendering engine. Built and tested by thousands of volunteers, Mozilla's Gecko brings cutting-edge innovations and capabilities to users in a standards-friendly and socially responsible form.
CNET Editor's Review:
The wait for new features is over--Camino 1.5 is here! The fact Camino was designed from the ground up to be a native OS X browser definitely shows. A cool alternative to Safari and Firefox, this browser's use of Cocoa for the user interface certainly makes it fit well with the rest of the platform.

You can't use Caminicon in this version. Consequently if you want to fancy up Camino you have to stick with the previous version.

I use a few WYSIWYG browser editors and browser-based file management tools at certain sites that work well in IE and Firefox, but are not designed for use in Safari. Because I'm a Mac users, for those purposes, I really need to use Firefox ... or Camino.
Camino offers a great deal of elegant design and speed that Firefox does not. Frankly, Firefox just feels "clunky" in comparison. I'm able to have access to those special sites that require Firefox compatibility, and I get the look and feel of Camino. It's a nice compromise.
I have had some weirdness with some pop-down menus that didn't display properly (thus the 4-star rating), but for the most part Camino renders just fine.
In general, I use Safari for my day-to-day work, but Camino is now my backup, and I'm very pleased with it in that role.

This latest version doesn't allow you to add cookies to block, and last crash, it wiped out my list of blocked cookies, with no way to re-enter them.
