Camino turns 1.0
Camino, the wonderful Mac OS X-ified Mozilla browser that could (and does),
has turned 1.0. A number of features have been added in this official 1.0 release, including a new tab bar appearance,
the ability to pause/resume downloads, form fill from Address Book, History searching and more. Check out their release notes for the full deets. This is a great milestone for a fantastic and zippy browser. If you don't need all the extensions, bells and other whistles of Firefox, I highly recommend Camino as a Mozilla browser that offers more of a Mac OS X experience.

I've downloaded Camino. Using F7 as in this great trick (http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2005/11/dictroar/index.php) does not work -- except for the URL. Ha!
Also, the END key does nothing. Why oh why doesn't it scroll to the bottom of a page? Silly Camino. I predict you'll be deleted from my hard drive soon.
If it had spell checker or it used Tiger's Dictionary, I'd drop Safari!!

If it does, why don't they say so? If it doesn't, that's a lame Mac-ification.
Meh, still doesnt hold a candle to Safari

February 15 2006 at 4:50 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replyit still doesn't meet my desires, maybe someone can help me find a way to make safari firefox or camino incorporate all of these...
- search google from quicksilver (the way safari does it)
- bookmark with delicious (the way the firefox extension does it)
- allow me to use the services menu (the way safari/camino do it)
as far as other features are concerned i'm happy with any one of the three.
I just started using Camino and I was excited at first but then I found a few little quirks; digging on digg.com takes me to a blank page instead of just digging and Flip4Mac will not work just like firefox(obviously)
