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!!

From the Camino site, I can't tell if it supports Tiger's dictionary like mentioned here: http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2005/11/dictroar/index.php

If
it does, why don't they say so? If it doesn't, that's a lame Mac-ification.

My only problem with Camino is it's lack of support for non-native widgets. :( It's especially disappointing from a browser that claims to meet the highest of web standards.

it 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)

Hardin: Nice to see that the standard shortcuts were fixed, but the toolbar is still non-standard (although customizable), as is the actual Preferences page.

Stridey: many of Firefox's integration problems were fixed in 1.5 (Such as a standerd toolbar and standerd shortcuts)
