Product Description:

Camino is a web browser optimized for Mac OS X with a Cocoa user interface, and powerful Gecko layout engine. It's the simple, secure, and fast browser for Mac OS X. Camino practices the art of simplicity with an uncluttered user interface but with the features you expect from a modern browser like tabbed browsing and pop-up blocking settings. Integrated with Google, Camino's Google search field lets you find what you need faster. We take your security and privacy seriously. That's why Camino comes with advanced cookie settings. Camino also helps you recognize when entering and leaving secure web sites. One of the fastest browsers on MacOS X -innovative features enhance what you get out of the internet. The power behind Camino is the Gecko rendering engine, built and tested by thousands of volunteers, incorporating the absolute cutting edge in web innovations.

What's new in this version:

  • General
    • Camino now supports HTML <canvas>.
    • Camino now has built in SVG support.
    • Added a contextual menu on the URL bar lock icon that has items to show the site certificate, and go to Page Info.
    • Added a Page Info window containing a combination of encryption and certificates related information.
    • Added ".p7b" and ".pkcs7" to the list of file extensions allowed when importing certificate files.
    • Added a separate cache for site icons, ensuring that crashing doesn't erase all the site icons anymore.
    • Fixed an issue where the "New window" item was no longer in dock menu.
    • Camino now doesn't set itself as the default FTP client.
    • Fixed a crash when accessing Brother printer via Bonjour.

    • The bookmarks bar on 10.4 now matches the unified look of the toolbar.
    • Improve the drag feedback for tabs and the tab bar background.
    • Improve the drag feedback on the bookmarks toolbar.
    • Make sure the focus ring around the search text fields in the UI is correctly redrawn when a window gains and loses focus.
    • Rearranged the Help menu.
    • Standardize terminology in Send Link/Email Page Location strings.
    • If a webpage has it's own javascript oncontextmenu handler, we don't show the normal context menu.
    • When opening new windows from external applications, make sure we bring the window to the front if appropriate.
  • Preferences
    • Added warning sheets when clearing the cache and history in the preferences, and standardize the terminology.
    • Added a "Are you sure?" warning before clearing all the cookie site exceptions.
    • Make sure that the "Remove All" button in the "Edit exceptions list" sheet only removes the cookie permissions, and not any others.
    • Allow users to select one or more cookies and say "block these sites" to add the sites to the "deny" list.
    • The UI in the Cookies and Exceptions sheets now uses action buttons, and saves the table and window state.
    • Properly save the preference window location.
  • Bookmarks
    • Don't create history items for hidden url loads, like iframes.
    • Quiting with a large history is now faster.

    • Allow shift modifier key to reverse the sense of the "load in background" preference when loading a url with Command-Return.
    • Dragging a bookmark folder over the content view should replace tabs, rather than append (just like dragging over the tab).

    • Fixed a bug in which the pause button disappears when customizing the download manager toolbar.
    • Use a file system notification to detect when downloaded files are moved or deleted, and update UI accordingly.
    • The Delete key now also removes items from the download list.

Camino CommentaryNot for vintage Macs? - Version: 2.0, 11/23/2009 01:55AM PST

Unlike previous versions, Camino 2.0 doesn't run smoothly on a G4 machine. Rendering is slower & bumpier and browser crashes happen more often. I'm forced to downgrade..

I simply love camino. It's fast and simple. There's none nonsense and ballast like you get with Safari 4. The idea behind Camino is NOT to have a feature for every feature that uses a feature to get a feature for another feature. And that's it.
