TUAW Tip: Camino does bookmarks in the Dock, Tab groups

Camino is a great browser that exists somewhere in that place between Safari and Firefox. It's a spawn of Mozilla's darling browser, but it is decidedly far more Mac-like in its functionality and UI. Even cooler still is that Camino has plenty of tricks up its sleeve, such as the ability to add a folder of bookmarks to its Dock context menu, and turning folders into one-click tab groups.

First up: the Dock Menu option. Simply check this in the Get Info window (cmd-i) of any folder in Camino's bookmark manager and enjoy easy access to your 'marks from the comfort of a right-click.

Next is that Tab group: this is useful for creating a set of bookmarks that all open in their own tabs at a mere single click of your mouse. Do you consistently open webmail, Amazon and - of course - TUAW when you sit down for a stroll through the web? Camino's Tab group just might save you hours of clicking... after using this feature for, like, 20 years.

No, I mean live bookmarks. I use them a lot -- I tag stuff in del.icio.us and make a live bookmark of that particular tag. Like magic, I have the same bookmark menus at home or at work, and can easily get to them on any other machine in the world.

Love Camino. BTW, there is RSS support in versions 1.1 or greater -- the RSS icon appears, which allows your feed reader of choice to handle it.

For those of you looking for a sweet RSS solution with Camino, Google Reader does fairly well. There's also a nice OS X theme that lets it blend right into the UI. It's not as swank as Safari's RSS integration, but it will do if Safari seems to gobble up RAM and it uses less resources than running an external RSS reader (if you have to do that, I highly recommend Vienna).

Camino is dead to me until it gets some decent RSS support.

Actually, Camino existed before Firefox, but nice tip regardless! :)

Nice tips, but know that Safari also does tab groups... Nice, but not unique to Camino.

Doesn't seem like Firefox can, but there may be a plugin for it.
