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:

  • Camino is now a universal binary, allowing it to run natively on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs.
  • Moving backward and forward through history is now “blazingly fastâ€?.
  • The “Fill Formâ€? menu item and toolbar button use your personal Address Book card to automatically fill out forms on the current webpage.
  • Ad-blocking is now built-in, but turned off by default.
  • The “Caminoâ€? menu now has a “Reset Camino…â€? menu item, which will erase your browsing history, empty the cache, clear downloads, clear all cookies, and clear all site permissions.

  • An optional warning is shown when closing windows with multiple tabs or when quitting with multiple windows open.

  • The about:config preference editor is now mostly functional.
  • Camino now includes live searching of bookmarks and history.
  • It is now possible to sort bookmarks alphabetically.

  • Spotlight will now index Camino bookmarks.
  • Camino now displays custom icons for Bookmarks, History, and local files.
  • The tab bar has been rewritten from scratch.
  • Tabs now appear on the left of the window, instead of in the center.
  • Windows can now contain more than 16 tabs, and tabs which do not fit on the tab bar appear in an overflow menu.
  • The tab bar can remain visible when a single tab is open.
  • Double-clicking on empty space in the tab bar creates a new tab.
  • Command-enter in the location bar or search field will now open the page or search results in a new tab or new window (instead of the current tab or window).

  • Camino now uses version 1.8 of Mozilla’s Gecko rendering engine, which contains thousands of bug fixes.
  • Images are drawn and tiled using Core Graphics for improved performance.
  • The pop-up blocker can now stop pop-ups generated by plugins (like Flash).
  • Camino now ships with the Java Embedding Plugin (http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/), which provides support for Java 1.4. On Mac OS X 10.4, Java 5.0 is also supported.
  • Camino now supports third-party preference panes. These can be installed by placing them into the ~/Library/Application Support/Camino/PreferencePanes folder.
  • There is a new preference to make animated images play only once.
  • The cookie and cookie exception lists are now searchable.

Camino Troubleshooting Reportcan't log in to igoogle/gmail - Version: 2.0, 11/24/2009 06:05PM PST

since uploading to this version i am unable to log in to my igoogle page and show the portal for my gmail or calendar. the screen says i have to re-enter my password, even though i can see my username at the top of the screen (which indicates i AM logged in). clicking the "Re-enter password" link freezes the computer and i can't open any other app until i do a hard re-start. Is this a conflict between Camino 2 and iGoogle?

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..
