What does that even mean?


I think it means someone has been drinking. :-D

Camino was a good browser but it slipped and Firefox had more to offer, even though it wasn't native enough for many.

Since it's less behind now, I hope they'll be able to integrate changes more quickly. It had a responsiveness that made you think "all applications should be made like this".

(If your not happy with the default OS X skin you can get teh GrApple skins which I think look even better than Safari.)

What does Camino have to offer today that Firefox doesn't?

It also uses the system spellchecker, keychain (user password storage), and can interface with system services.

With built in ad and flash blocking, Camino is fairly feature complete. I can't think of any addons I use in FF beyond that.

Pretty much, Camino is what FF should be on Mac OS X. Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:32:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Evan) Comments RE: Don't see the point with Camino after Firefox 3,x http://osnews.com/thread?395613 http://osnews.com/thread?395613

What does Camino have to offer today that Firefox doesn’t?


Let’s put it this way: Camino is a 100% Mac like application with all the Cocoa bells and whistles that has a “NSView" that is the Gecko Engine used by Firefox. For everything else, there’s Mastercard.

Everything it does, it does it in a Mac way because it’s not multi platform.

I think it’s faster and uses less resources, but having upgraded to 2.0, I don’t see much change, except you can now move tabs, yet you can’t drag them “out” of a window to create another like Safari.

Some things work better under Camino. It’s free, it’s relatively fast and it’s an alternative when Firefox crashes and there’s a problem with Safari.

I assume you mean an Intel specific build, correct? Because Apple has used Intel Core Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, Xeon (Core-based), and Core i5, i7, and Nehelem-based Xeons.

I didn't compile it nor is it my website.

I'm just passing along info that I've found. I'm well aware of Intel's processor offerings.

To Little to late.


It's too little, too late, if you want to write it correctly. ;)

If not for Chimera/Camino, there would probably be no Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox.

So, while Camino developers (2 of them?) are catching up with the Firefox developers (hundreds?), Mac OS X still has a good alternative browser, even though development has been sidetracked at time. It's likely that the millions of dollars of funding don't go toward Camino, so it's more a labour of love. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:59:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bousozoku) Comments
