Camino 2 beta 1 is available now (Download Squad)

Jan 24th 2009 11:53PM Camino is a filly developed web browser in it's own right. It is not simply a cheap cheerful cut-down browser. There are certainly features that it lacks, and save Java issues have been overdue for correction. Nonetheless Camino is one of the best, if not the best browser on the Macintosh.

It brings FireFox's excellent web page compatibility to the Mac in a way FireFox itself failed to, owing to it not being a truly native "Mac" application.

FireFox is not able to access useful Mac technologies such as the system services, meaning things like text to speech is not available.

Camino however is a native Mac OS X binary in the genuine sense of the term. It is able to use the underlying frameworks in OS X to bend the web experience to the modern OS X users will.

Camino browser is my preferred browser on OS X, as it combines the native experience of a Mac application, with the worlds best rendering engine. Something no other browser on the Mac has yet accomplished.
