Camino 2.1 alpha preview released, new features in tow

by Matt Tinsley (Jan 21st, 2011)

Camino, the open source web browser for Mac OS X, has released Camino 2.1 Alpha 1 -- the first preview release of the forthcoming Camino 2.1 update. It's been just over a year since version 2.0 was released, and we can expect to see some great new features and improvements in the upcoming ...

Camino 2.0 offers Tab Overview and more

by Mat Lu (Nov 19th, 2009)

Camino seems a bit like the half-forgotten poor sister of Firefox. The goal of the Camino project is to produce a truly OS X-native browser built on the same Gecko rendering engine that drives Firefox. While it was popular among certain Mac geeks for a while (I even remember using it when it was ...

Screaming fast Mozilla browser Minefield gives a glimpse of Firefox's future

by Jason Clarke (Oct 26th, 2008)

I was really disappointed when Google released their Chrome web browser for Windows only. When it comes to browsers, I've tried them all. Right now I regularly switch between Firefox and the latest nightly build from Webkit (essentially Safari). Firefox has the extensibility I rely on, while Webkit ...

Camino 1.6.3 released

by Christina Warren (Aug 8th, 2008)

Camino, the best Gecko-based browser NOT named Firefox 3, has just been updated to version 1.6.3. This update, which seems to have rolled in 1.6.2 along with it (at least I never got the 1.6.2 notification, and I use Camino pretty frequently), sports the latest update to the Gecko 1.8.1 branch, ...

Camino 1.6.1 released

by Christina Warren (May 21st, 2008)

Just over a month after its 1.6 release, the Camino team has just released version 1.6.1. As Camino's own page states, "Camino 1.6.1 is a stability and security update . . . All users are urged to upgrade." Camino should now be less crash-friendly and nitpicky about search engine additions and ...

Camino 1.6

by Scott McNulty (Apr 18th, 2008)

The best browser for the Mac, Camino, has gotten even better with the release of Camino 1.6. I know what some of you are thinking, 'How can you say that Camino is the best browser for the Mac? It doesn't support extensions, it isn't made by Apple, and it won't buy me a pony!' All of those things are ...

Keep your bookmarks in sync with BookIt

by Nik Fletcher (Jan 28th, 2008)

I have an admission to make: I change browsers on a fairly regular basis (normally, I'm found swapping between Camino and Safari in short succession as I struggle to find a nirvana between the two of them). But what to do with my favourites? Some people I know like to keep browser favourites ...

Donate to Camino, it'll make you feel better

by Scott McNulty (Nov 27th, 2007)

We Mac users take our web browsers seriously, which helps account for the fact that there are just so many of them to choose from. For my money the top browser on OS X is Camino (though Safari 3 is closing in fast). Camino, as you can see from the accompanying picture here, makes a big deal out of ...

Google Summer of Code kicks off with Camino, Adium, Thunderbird and more

by David Chartier (Jun 7th, 2007)

Google's Summer of Code is a really cool, really massive project focused on open source that first started back in 2005. It functions on a pretty simple concept: the company gives out grants to student developers (this summer they brought on 900 from a list of 6,200 applicants) to work on open ...

Camino 1.5

by Scott McNulty (Jun 5th, 2007)

Mac users have a dizzying array of web broswers to choose from, which makes finding a favorite a tricky thing. My browser of choice has been Camino for a long, long time. It just looks like a Mac app, and it uses the Gecko rendering engine so I get all the goodness of FireFox (sans extentions which ...

Camino 1.0.4 is available

by Dave Caolo (May 7th, 2007)

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: Improved ad blocking (Yay!) Several security issues fixed ...

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

by David Chartier (Apr 18th, 2007)

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 ...

The Little Things: Drag and drop

by David Chartier (Apr 15th, 2007)

TUAW reader Chris Roberts was right: it's been far too long since our last post in The Little Things series, so I figured I'd pick up the slack with a really handy feature of Mac OS X: drag and drop. Sure, most OSes these days can drag and drop at least some things, but Apple has gone to great ...

Found Footage: Google Tech Talk on Camino

by Mat Lu (Mar 3rd, 2007)

Over at the Office Google Mac Blog, Mike Pinkerton, Google Mac Team Software Engineer, just announced a Google Tech Talk he gave back in January. Now the reason this is of interest is that Pinkerton also just happens to be the project lead for the Camino web browser and the talk he gave (as part of ...
