Camino 1.0 alpha released

Yeah, basically: Camino = The Snappy. And doesn't seem to have the memory leak problems that Safari has. (Although, as the Safari team said, they've had a crackdown and have gotten rid of about 3996 memory leaks of late.)

if camino had Firefox's RSS stuff, it would > all. i'd even use it in preference to Safari (whose RSS implementation I despise).

FYI "What is the difference between Camino and Firefox? In short, Camino and Firefox both grew out of the browser element of Mozilla, therefore it is incorrect to think of Camino as the Macintosh version of Firefox especially since it actually predates the Mac version of Firefox. Camino was created specifically as a Gecko-based Mac OS X browser that adopts the whole Macintosh experience. It uses the Aqua interface and integrates a number of Mac OS X services and features into the browser such as Keychain for password management and Bonjour for scanning available bookmarks across your local network. Firefox being a Windows program first and foremost has yet to conform to the overall look and feel of a Mac OS X application and does not make use of Mac OS X features and services. "

If it had spell check I could consider it as a main browser for me. But without spell check (and extensions) it's not comparable to Firefox.

Camino also comes with nightly builds optimized for G5, G4 and... G3 processors!! I run the G5 optimized Camino on my iMac, and it screams!!!

"Outside of a lack of brushed metal (which I am in support of) can someone explain to me the advantages of Camino over Safari?" It's generally considered to be faster, and it's definitely faster if you download a cpu optomized build. In addition, Camino has several features that Safari lacks: find as you type and banner-ad blocking are the big ones.

I've been using this alpha for a bit now and was using the previous alpha before this one... and I'm a Camino fan. It's a solid browser - ok, so it doesn't have extensions - big whoop. It blocks out the ads, and integrates well with OS X. I can't ask for more. I'm also a fan of the unified look that Camino has picked up in it's alphas as of late (0.84 doesn't have it).

Camino not only predates Firefox (and can therefore not be called a fully ported version of FF) but it also predates Safari! Camino (or Chimera) was my primary browser back when IE 5 was the default OS X browser and Omniweb was still on version 4.

I love Camino, I think I'd use it exclusively if it weren't for Safari's .Mac syncing. Firefox feels sluggish, and the fact that it doesn't use the keychain is obnoxious.

It seems like the nicer Camino gets (and I really like this newest version) the more it's like Safari. Outside of a lack of brushed metal (which I am in support of) can someone explain to me the advantages of Camino over Safari? The bookmarks manager can't go in a sidebar like Firefox, the "Find" dialog is ugly unlike Firefox's bottom-of-the-screen thing, I had to manually add a user.js in order to make the download window not open automatically every time I download something... Visually it's very good looking, but it seems like I would rather stick with Safari for a couple of general MacOS integration things (sane keyboard shortcuts, extra-nice download and PDF integration) or go all out for Firefox. I guess if I could just have Greasemonkey on Camino, I'd be more likely to use it-- that's the only real essential extension for me.
