Camino
May 21 2008

GUMM  Camino is a nice looking simple Browser, yes, but it lacks important basic features.

I don't understand some of the arguments here, - there are some people that are against javascript- or adblocking, really?

"That's defeating the purpose of Camino. Camino is lean and fast, incorporating the features of FireFox would slow it down and bloat it up."

- Oh really? How for example can selective Javascript-blocking slow down browsing? Some sites today load 3-5 MB of Javascript garbage before you see the first word or image!

Some pages are bloated with ads, and all that is loaded in Camino, just partly hidden by css, nothing is blocked, you have all the shit loaded right into your Mac when using Camino, everything is loaded, you just don't see it, - partly, as many ads go thru the css "filter".

Of course this all slows down your browsing expirience. Who can tell the opposite, that's just...!

"If you want the functions of Firefox, just use Firefox."

- Ha, If you don't like to see me sneezing in my hand just go away.

Very good argument.

- I thought Camino was ment as the "Mac-Firefox", a Mozilla browser with an interface for us macusers. So we macusers don't need adblocking or any modern comfort?

I'm not talking about a currency converter plug in the toolbar here or things like that windows users may feel to need every day, I'm talking about slowdowned browsing by unfiltered ads and javascript bloat.

And javascript is and was a security hole, the same as activeX on PC, so why not get the chance to block it if unneeded or unwanted on some sites?

> If you want more than basic functions, just use iCab (though still partly buggy), Omniweb (Tab horror) or Firefox (with added plugins).<

UNCLE ASAD  If you want to physically block images or scripts, you can use the permissions system, as detailed in Camino’s documentation: http://caminobrowser.org/documentation/annoyances/#hostperm
