CaminoBrowser.org Launches 126

Posted by timothy from the pinstripeyness dept.
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."

It runs a tad faster than Safari, and has compatability with nearly all plugins that are supposedly Windows-only. I mean, really, I don't see anything at all wrong with it.

            But that doesn't mean I want to use it as my default browser. It's just a little too buggy, and not Mac-like enough (both in appearance and in keyboard bindings).

            Depending on my mood, I use either Safari or a recent Camino. Camino 0.82 doesn't work well with Google maps, so I tend to use a nightly... until I start to run into problems, then I either go to another nightly or Safari.

My 500mhz G3 has a fast disk and lots of RAM, and for moderate-to-heavy desktop use can keep up with anything but a G5 for most tasks -- but the CPU-usage difference between Safari and anything Gecko-based is pronounced, just as it was between Moz and Konqueror on my K6-2 450 box 3 years ago.

      My only problem with Safari is that it is so noticeably slower on HTTPS connections. I use a G4 at work, and any time I need to use an HTTPS connection I use Camino because Safari drags so much. It's not so noticeable at home where I have a 1.8GHz G5, but when on slower machines (including my mom's iBook), Safari just drags on secure connections.

    can we now have some innovation? I remember reading a scientific paper, around 1999, which showed that 90% of web browser users hate "history". They use the back button, hardly ever use the forward button and get annoyed as hell when they lose an entire "forward history" because they happened to click on a link after they went "back". Every browser on the planet (probably, maybe, probably not Opera, don't flame me) still has this annoying behaviour. The paper found that the best "history" was a pictorial one that actually showed the user when and how they got to a page with a thumbnail of that page as each node in the tree. That was pretty damn cool! Unfortunately I don't have it for FireFox or any of the many clones.

    That's one aspect of a web browser, there's dozens more. I kinda feel like tabs are the last real innovation for web browsers. Kinda like cup holders in cinemas. Guess I should be greatful it didn't take 30 years.

      Actually, I've just been looking at history for a different kind of program, and was surprised by how counter-intuitive the browser ones are when I examined them. The Safari one doesn't reflect the menu, and removes previous moves when you take a positive action and aren't at the top of the history stack.

      An easy solution is to flip the history ahead of the current position and insert it before current when the user chooses a new site.

      ie (where '-' is current position and the user has come back to site c from site a)

      a
      b
      c-
      d
      e

      when the user clicks on new site f becomes

      f-
      c
      b
      a
      d
      e

      because the user just came to c back through b and a, so to them a and b are behind them now.
      Rather than starting it again with

      f-
      c

      As Safari does. Perhaps there are other orderings that make more sense - it'd be interesting to see how a lot of people use history, and how the current ones frustrate them - you don't have a link for that paper do you?

      I couldn't agree more. I've always felt that browser history should be a tree, not a list, and that you should be able to navigate it graphically. At the very least, the forward button should provide a drop down list of potential destinations. Another thing that irritates me about browser history is the fact that (in most browsers I've used) opening a link in a new tab causes it not to inherit the history from the previous tab. Why can I not go back to the page I just came from when I have opened a link in a new tab and closed the old one? Sometimes I feel like beating browser developers to death with the principle of least surprise.

          That's not what happened.

          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:

          There is no mac version. While Phoenix could be made to run on Mac without much trouble, we see no point in competing with Chimera.

      MacOS X has two native API's - carbon [apple.com] and cocoa [apple.com]. Carbon hardly has any virtues of its own, it's main advantage is that its relatively easy to port old, non-Unix Mac applications to Carbon, so whenever anyone has any project that has its roots still in last century, he sticks with Carbon. This is not just the case of various Mozilla-derivative projects but also of - say - Microsoft Office for MacOS. Cocoa is the "native native" API and here's where MacOS X really shines. If you use MacOS X a lot, you tend to hate Carbon and favor Cocoa because Cocoa apps offer much better overall integration with systemwide services, such as your favorite spellchecker, they generally run faster and consume less resources. Camino is Cocoa, Firefox is Carbon.
      • Comparing Carbon and Cocoa is like comparing apples and oranges for most purposes. They are both nice and useful but usually for very different things. From a theoretical standpoint you might be able to say that the Cocoa API is better designed than the Carbon API, but in real life you normally need to use one or the other for certain tasks and the decision doesn't come down to which API is "better."

      >-No way to block annoying Flash popups

      It won't fix everything, but a custom /etc/hosts file like this one [mvps.org] will kill a lot of ads, including lots of Flash. Takes a bit of work on OS X--you can't just 'sudo cat hosts.txt >> /etc/hosts', you have to 'sudo -s' and actually *be* root before you add their hosts file to yours. Not sure why, but once it's working, it's great.

        I'm not anywhere I can test this right now but I can make some suppositions that might or might not hold up.

        It appears to me that the problem with your command is that the append redirection ('>>') is being executed by the same shell by which sudo is being executed. This means that it does not have the permissions that are granted by sudo to the child shell that executes the "cat" command. What you would want to do wou

  • For everyone who thinks Camino is speedy versus Firefox and Safari, you should search the mozillazine forums for arch optimized nightlys of it... The closest comparation I can make is when the roadrunner goes "Beep-Beep" and leaves the coyote in the dust. :P
  • Yes. They could have started by not ruining their nice design by using Jpegs [caminobrowser.org] for text.
    That aside it's a very nice site for a very nice browser.

    This browser is certainly the best choice if you have Panther on something like an iBook 500 with just about 400MB Ram. Safari tends to be slow, FF doesn't scroll well and is too heavy for my system (and doesn't feel right under OS X) So Camino does really do a nice job. And if you feel that 0.8.2 is too old, why not use a nightly. They work perfectly most of the time.
  • ...and I've stated the reason before [slashdot.org].

    Why it has to be so hard to implement this kind of basic functionality? There are at least three bugs in Camino's Bugzilla that are related to this.
  • AFAICS (and I've just tried) Camino still doesn't support automated proxy configurations, eg load a .pac file from the Network preferences.

    Works with Safari and Mozilla but nothing else so far.
  • I have three browsers on my machine, Safari, Camino, and Firefox. I use them in that order.

    I would like to use FireFox more often, but the hideous Windows interface is unbearable. I can deal with it for a couple of sites every now and then than are broken under the other two, but that is about it.

    Camino is a great start, but does not offer the full features of the other two browsers. It would be unusable for day to day use, I think (I am sure there are people that use it day in and day out, but for me it
