Camino 1.6.1 released

Where Camino falls down for me is tab handling. Compared to the possibilities offered by Tab Mix Plus for Firefox, or even Saft + SafariStand in Safari, Camino seems hopelessly out of date.

They've been talking about beefing this area up for over a year, but this hasn't translated into any useful results for me.

Shame, because otherwise I like it.

Now that Firefox 3 is a lot more Cocoa friendly I wonder if its success will continue. I loved Camino specifically b/c of the Cocoa buttons. Now with Firefox 3 I'm thinking of just using Camino for testing.

(hmm, I get a Reply link on everyone else's comment including my own, but not yours. site bug there relating to threaded comments it seems)

Anyway, hmm, that's interesting to know then. I missed it when I looked before (and I meant what i said: camino *is* nice... and before Firefox 3 it was a much better fit to OSX than firefox.

Firefox 3 is very nice though... It seems less of a step forward when used on windows or linux (more so on linux/gnome because at least the form widgets look right now), but on OSX its matching to the general desktop environment has gone through such an improvement it does seem to kinda obsolete the purpose of camino, except as a demo to Apple to say, see, you *can* make a nice light gecko-based browser. I suppose it might just be too late for me! :-)

camino's very nice but it lacks an optional firefox component that is, i find, utterly unlivable-without.

AdblockPlus. Seriously, the killer extension. On a fresh install of Firefox I last about an hour, maybe two, before I crack and have to reinstall that extension, and it's probably only that long because the two most-visited domains in my history are google.com and bbc.co.uk. :-)

So now it is going to be "less crash friendly and nitpicky about search engine additions", can't wait for that update. Maybe you could have made that the headline.

i got the 1Password alert too, so now 1P is not working with the new version, but i'm confident that the 1P people are going to be releasing an update any day now. they are always right on top of things that way.
