Attention Camino users: Version 1.0.4 of your favorite browser is now available. I go back and forth between Camino and Firefox myself, and I've got to say that Camino is nice and snappy on my MacBook Pro. Changes in 1.0.4 include:F11 moves all your windows off the screen so you can quickly glance at your desktop. F10 shows you every open window in an application. F9 shows every open window for every application that isn't hidden or in the dock.

I've had 1.0.4 for awhile now I don't know what is new. I have noticed that I am gettin pop-ups and pop-unders now though. Despite my best efforts the past week I have seen a virtual meltdwon with regards to Camino and ad blocking. I have no idea why.

I loved using Camino, but I ran into one flaw that completely stopped me from using it. I couldn't get Camino to remember more than one user name and pw for website logins, like numerous gmail accounts, multiple logins for godaddy, etc. Camino would always overwrite the old login or would fail to remember the new login.
Is there a way to get Camino to remember multiple logins & passwords now? If so, I'd love to switch back from Firefox.

Jason:
Use different login accounts in OSX.

1.0.4 isn't new. It was released in March.

Scott - thanks, but that seems to be a clear waste of time and effort.
If I need to constantly manage different logins like numerous commercial bank accounts or website control panels, why should I have to switch OSX users just to check savings versus checking? It's only me on this computer - I should be able to log in to a thousand things from one page, if I want.
Firefox does this. Even Internet Explorer does this! Camino should, too (especially if it's supposed to be cutting edge).

I've been using the 1.1 beta for awhile...very nice!

What's the point of this, exactly? If I want a ton of mediocre plugins, I'll use Firefox. If I want a browser that feels like a Mac application, I'll use Safari. Where in this equation is there room for Camino?

@Adam, the Camino developers don't really want people discussing pre-release software on sites like this, but I will say that you need to update.
@Popo man, Camino doesn't have a ton of add-ons like Firefox, because it doesn't use XUL for the UI. I used to be an avid Firefox user because of the add-ons, but now the add-ons I was actually using with Firefox have Camino equivalents. Thus, Camino gives me functionality I need (which Safari doesn't offer) in a much more Mac-like package than Firefox.

@ Popo man, Firefox was pretty horrible running under OS X here, with Camino you get a Mac feel (possibly moreso than Safari) with the reliability of Mozilla.
Camino loads all the pages that Safari can't no problem.
And it seems faster, its a great middle way between FF and Safari.

I'd like to use Camino but as it does not work as a RSS reader (at least it didn't?), I prefer Safari.
Camino although is a nice browser but it just hasn't that little something.

I dunno, Safari seems faster to me than Camino, and last I looked, there were fewer useful plugins for Camino than for Safari. I've rarely ever had a problem loading a site in Safari, either--certainly not enough to put up with Camino as my default browser. To each their own. And I agree that either browser is far, far better that Windows-ish monstrosity known as Firefox.

I just upgraded to 1.0.4 and now Camino does not reload the pages that were left open before being closed. Agh! This was one feature I really liked. How can I restore it?

@JesseRPI, are you sure that you *upgraded* to 1.0.4 and didn't actually *downgrade* from a 1.1 alpha or beta that you forgot about? Either that, or perhaps you need to update CaminoSession.
As Robbie said, 1.0.4 has been out for some time now. I think Dave Caolo may have misread "March 7" as "May 7."

i agree with Jason here, Camino & its password manager is a complete waste of time. It is almost better to select "Never for this site" than to have Camin remember passwords for you. Camino is good, but even though aqua isn't enable for Firefox, i'll still take FF over Camino anyday... accept for my 256 RAM g3 with Camino runs almost twice as fast. I look forward to Mozilla resolving this in the next release.
Go go go mozilla!

So reading this has led me to give Camino another whirl... I'm not gonna lie though... I hate the icon

Well even if this is a slightly older than implied release, it still inspired me to give Camino another look. I like what I see, and thanks to 1Passwd I can dodge that annoying password issue mentioned above.
The ad blocking is much better than I remember it, but I can't seem to find a way to add filters as easily as the right-click menu item Adblock Plus adds to FF. Being a long-time FF user that has it installed on several different operating systems I prefer consistence and this is one thing that would hinder me replacing FF on my Mac. I also wish replacing buttons didn't involve either manually doing so in the .app file, or a third-party program (CaminIcon.) It feels too messy and troublesome, considering I ran into some issues with CaminIcon that resulted in manual replacement of the okay, but bland pill buttons.
As Mr.ThunkDifferent said, though, this will be great for my old G3. Giving it all the features I enjoy in Firefox with better performance (it'll be interesting to see how an optimized build does.) After a quick button replacement it also resembles my preferred Pinstripe theme, making it comfortable and familiar.

Japanese fonts are *still* broken, even though Camino has an official Japanese website. That's why I've given up on it and gone back to Safari (Webkit, actually).

It's a nonstarter for me without Greasemonkey. Seriously, I depend on it now. So it's FF on all platforms for me, still.
