Camino Browser 1.0 Final

by geekzhang on 2006-02-20 00:21:55

At the beginning of the year, Mozilla released a beta version of the Camino browser, and recently the official 1.0 version has been launched. This is undoubtedly a great choice for Mac users who have been abandoned by Microsoft. The browser is 100% open-source and runs on Mac OS X 10.2 and later versions. Due to core changes, systems below Mac OS X 10.1 can only use version 0.8.4.

It is claimed that the new Camino browser has significantly improved in several aspects:

- Can run on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs

- A more user-friendly Tab Bar

- Download manager with pause/resume functionality

- Web content blocking

- Support for more security certificates

- Built-in Java plugin for performance improvement

- Searchable browsing history

- Support for standards like SVG, CSS2, CSS3, JavaScript 1.6, etc.

Using a Mac is still in the dreaming stage for me. I hope some friends who try out Camino will share their experiences with me :) (via witao.com)
