Anyone use Camino?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Just curious. I'm relatively new to apple and I've been using Safari which seems to work pretty well. Wanted feedback on Camino. How is it compared to Firefox which I've used in the past on my PC. Which one is most preferred?

Thanks

I was a firefox lover on my pc. I use camino exclusively on my new mac. I like it better than firefox now. It doesn't have as many extensions but it is FAST and streamlined.

I use both browsers..safari and camino. The reason I use camino is because most webpages support the browser. In safari there are some websites that would not support it. Camino is specifically designed for a mac. It has safari like design. No RSS support. You can download addons for camino like http://www.pimpmycamino.com
There and Pro and Cons on both browsers at this point for me camino is better than safari.

Cool. Thanks for the input. I'll have to give it a test run to see for myself.

essentially camino is firefox (gecko engine) built to use mac osx specific tool kits and optimizations. safari is a mac product that resulted from the joint venture between the KDE dev team and Apple to improve Konqueror (speficifically the KHTML engine). Personally I hate konqueror (its ugly and slow), and am currently using firefox accross the board on all my windows, linux, and mac machines, or at least i used to, till my school blocked the use of firefox but not camino, so i am back on camino. its nicer than safari i think, but because it lacks many of hte features (extensions specifically) that the barebones firefox does have...kinda kills the fun for me.
