World's Best Rendering Engine
At the heart of our web browser is its rendering engine, the component responsible for laying out the content of web sites. Camino uses the Gecko rendering engine, the same engine used in the popular Firefox web browser. Gecko renders web pages faster and more accurately than any other rendering engine on the planet. Not only is it incredibly fast but it also supports the latest W3C web standards such as HTML, XML, XHTML, XSLT, DOM, CSS and JavaScript as well as popular plug-ins such as QuickTime, Flash, Shockwave, and Java.
Tabbed browing
Tabbed browsing offers an established way to surf the Internet, allowing you to have multiple pages open while only having to manage a single window. If you like, you can still have multiple windows or even multiple windows each with multiple tabs. Tabs can be set to load the pages in the background or immediately become the front most page; the choice is yours. The advantage of tabbed browsing is that you can open linked pages into background tabs as you continue to read another page.
For example: you're reading the daily news and the article links to more data about the subject. Using a non-tabbed browser you could choose to open the link in a new window and then return to the article or wait until you finished the article and then go back and find the link. Using a tabbed browser you can send the link into a tab where it will load in the background and be ready for reading when you're finished with your article. Once you're accustomed to tabs anything else will just feel clumsy.
Camino may not be the only browser on the market with tabs, but with Camino 0.9 we have improved the use-ability and speed considerably. We redisigned the way tabbed browings looks and works making sure we retained the existing metaphor, solving previous limitations and bringing many new usefull features. All to make browsing the web even easier, faster and more fun.
Bookmark and History management
Saving, organizing, and accessing bookmarks has never been easier. With Camino 0.9 we did our very best to solve every major bug we knew to make sure that the number 2 activity for a browser is now as pleasant as can be. We worked hard to provide a true Macintosh experience; nowhere is this more evident than in Camino's bookmark manager. If you've ever used iTunes™ or Spotlight™ then you'll feel right at home with this simple, split-pane interface. Here, you can search for bookmark and history items, edit bookmark names and addresses just as though you were renaming an icon on your desktop. You can create any number of folders in your library and choose whether they appear in the bookmarks bar or menu.
