DESCRIPTION
Camino is an open-source web browser developed with a focus on providing the best possible experience for Mac OS X users.
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.

MACLOVER1.1 Between Camino and Safari.. my heart swings... but if I found yet a better lover I'd go for it.. 'cause neither is really perfect... Safari is the memory hog monster we all know (i'm not sure why it is so hungry really)... and Camino is unfortunately less stable than Safari (at least in my setup... could have many causes I guess.. though which.. I do not know). So where is that perfect browser... I mean it's almsot 2010.. Shouldn't it exist by now ? I tried Chrome (sorry but I am so NOT impressed... I eve wonder it it is not some sort of ploy to scan my computer and send all info to the CIA lol). Anyway I'd like to make Camino my favorite browser but I am not just ready for the wedding... Girl has to get in shape a bit. (Version 2.0) | |

UNCLE ASAD If you're experiencing crashes with Camino, please report them using the Camino Crash Reporter, and if you have persistent crashes, please post in the forum or file a bug. We've established the causes of some common crashes already; see http://caminobrowser.org/blog/2009/#camino2update for more information, fixes, and work-arounds (as well as links to both the forum and information about reporting bugs).

DOOBIEXX Camino works fine, a bit slow but camino never was a fast flyer for me... 1password works without a hitch so I have no idea what others are saying and about the tab overview... at least it is included and I like the way it operates... Maybe the user below me likes to see his tabs on the right but I like to see the whole page when I am browsing a page so tabs taking over the window with a hotkey is not slow and very efficient. Try it, it is free after all, and open source... (Version 2.0) | |

ILIKETRASH Nobody, but nobody, gets thumbnail tabs right except for OmniWeb. Put them in a scrollable drawer to one side (not top or bottom) which are visible by default. If you don't want to see them, close the drawer. If you want to re-order them, drag the thumbnails. If you don't like the size, change the width of the drawer. In Camino 2.0 (and, well, "others,"), you have to hit a special key to see thumbnails, and then the entire window is taken over by them. They should be visible as "thumbnails" all the time so that you can see what tab you want to view next. What other purpose could there be? And I see that Camino 2.0 still has jerky scrolling, but not as bad as Firefox. Would it kill someone to make the smallest scroll increment be one pixel? (Version 2.0) | |

FYREFLYE Did you check 1Password preferences to see if Camino is enabled in the "Browsers" section? (Version 2.0) | |

MAC_CRAZY 1Password 2.11.1 is enable in the Browser preferences for Camino 2.0 in 1Password and still no icon in toolbar or when trying to customize toolbar. Funny thing happen, activated Camino under another user name but disabled 1Password first, Camino still warned me about 1Password may not be compatible with Camino 2.0. (Version 2.0) | |

FERVID My favourite browser by far..... until ver. 2.0 that is. Running Tiger on 2.5Ghz PPC machine and this new version is much too slooooooow for me (very un-Camino indeed!). Sticking with version 1.6 i'm afraid until I upgrade to a new machine. (Version 2.0) | |

LACWBO The new version 2 still contains a bug which always returns you to the top of a page instead of the position of the selected link. Firefox and Safari do not exhibit this behavior. (Version 2.0) | |

DRG The printing function on V2.0 of Camino has completely changed and now it mimics Firefox. This is unfortunate for Vision Service Plan's website printed great with Camino and not with Firefox. As far as I'm concerned this is a step downwards, not upwards. (Version 2.0) | |

GORDON142 I understand that the Camino team is small, but in the years since its debut, the browser world has changed, and it's just not clear what purpose this browser serves anymore. When Camino was released, Safari was in its infancy with a very limited feature-set and a long list of major sites that failed to render in webkit. Firefox was rough and slow and very badly integrated on the Mac OS. Camino gave you the attractive and mac-like interface of Safari with the powerful and widely compatible rendering engine of Firefox. A winning combination at the time. Well, in the last few years Safari and Firefox have made massive strides. Safari has matured rendering and feature-wise. Webkit is now considered one of the best and most compatible rendering engines on the market and is widely used on the Desktop and mobile space. It is rare indeed to encounter a site that Safari cannot render properly. Firefox is faster, more feature-full, and integrates much better into the Mac OS features and appearance. Camino has not kept up at all. Version 2.0 adds nothing terribly compelling and is essentially just trying to play catch-up with the big players. Camino's rendering, which used to be one of its big selling points, is far behind Firefox. Camino's javascript performance is about on par with Internet Explorer 8, and Firefox and Safari leave it in the dust in this respect. I just can't find any reason to use Camino at this point. If you want a quick-launching, completely mac-like app, use Safari. If you want a large integrated feature-set and true extensibility, use Firefox. (Version 2.0) | |

RAMPANCY By design, Firefox has never been able to be fully and properly integrated with OS X, and it never will, due to its use of XUL which is necessary for its extensions architecture to work. While Firefox does have its strengths, for a Gecko-based browser that looks, feels, and acts like a proper Mac OS X application, Camino works far better than Firefox. (Version 2.0) | |

IGREG v.2.0 is working worse than 1.6. More trouble loading pages. Slower. (Version 2.0) | |
