«The Camino Project has worked to create a browser that is as functional and elegant as the computers it runs on. The Camino web browser is powerful, secure, and ready to meet the needs of all users while remaining simple and elegant in its design.»

Camino is an open source browser for Mac. I have discovered Camino just some hours ago and now it is already my default browser: I still don’t realize how fast I can surf on the internet now!! Have a look at Camino’s features.

Camino looks like Safari but it was built on the same technology as Firefox. But Camino is faster than Firefox even if it could be considered limited regarding add-ons. But take a look at PimpMyCamino and you’ll have no doubt: Camino will be your default browser on your Mac. For example, if you are looking for that lovely del.icio.us extension you used in Firefox, try Caminicious and you will save your bookmarks with a click!!

Just a thing: why do Camino’s default preferences about Command click on links is setting to open a new windows instead of a new tab? And why not in background? I think most part of users prefer opening new tabs than new windows… in background. Or is it just my personal taste?

I don’t know where Camino’s name comes from, but the word “camino” means “fireplace” in italian language. But I think it’s spanish where it means “way” or “path”… that is more reasonable
