CaminoBrowser.org Launches 126
Samuel Sidler writes "Introducing CaminoBrowser.org, the new Camino project site. The pages have been completely revamped with up-to-date information, useful and easy-to-read support pages, and, of course, pretty pictures. Months of effort have gone into creating a truly excellent site. While the product pages will remain hosted at mozilla.org, our new website will be the home of the project and all support/development information as well as up-to-date news and information."

Agreed, one nice addition to camino functionality is the the extended preferences found here http://www.nada.de/mac/camino/cep.html [www.nada.de]
The ExtraPrefs include a highly effective CSS based ad-blocking system, as well as features such as the ability to customize search engines, spoof your browser type, image control, window reuse etc.
One nice thing about Camino tabs are their low profile - they do not seem to use as much screen real-estate as say the Safari tabs.
All in all Camino needs quite a bit of work but I think that it is poised to be a very good browser for the Mac.

A little history. (Score:5, Informative)
Camino (then Chimera) was first released in January 2002 [mozdev.org]. Firefox (then Phoenix) was first released in September 2002 [mozilla.org], and said this about the Mac: Not until Firebird 0.6 in May 2003 [mozilla.org] was the Mac was officially supported. If you're going to 'blame' a project for duplicating effort, don't blame Camino.
Also, an amusing aside: Dave Hyatt [mozillazine.org] started both the Chimera and Phoenix projects. Now he works fulltime at Apple on Safari [apple.com]...

Yes, they cost money. Yes, they are worth it. No, I don't care if Firefox can do this for free.

On the other hand, the latest nightly builds of Camino support user-defined pref panels making the addition of new features very easy and completely configurable. If you're willing to write it, all those extensions can become pref panels.
