Since its inception, Camino has enjoyed a small (but loyal) following among Mac enthusiasts who praise its lightweight programming and overall speed, especially when compared to competing browsers.
"Camino, though much less prevalent than its Mozilla sibling, Firefox, has a solid following among Mac users who appreciate its speed," tech analyst MG Siegler said. "It has long been my browser of choice as it’s relatively lightweight and very fast compared to Firefox. And compatibility with various sites seems better than Apple’s own Safari."
The new release is technically a release candidate — a preliminary version of the browser that will be made available for widespread bug testing. If no major problems are found, Mozilla will name this the official release.
The new version of Camino doesn't offer private browsing, or "porn mode," but it does include an "annoyance" feature that prevents websites from moving or resizing windows. In addition, users can control the color scheme of Camino.
Other new additions include tabbed browsing, improved keychain support, spell-checking, improved support for RSS feeds and the ability to save session
