i believe the www. should be taken out of the url for the link to work

http://caminobrowser.org/ is correct

oh and thanks for the heads up!

Huh? It goes to the same place, regardless of whether you include the www or not.

Works beautifully. I'm surprised how nice it is again.

Weird, worked for me. Anyway, I see it was worth an avatar change 🙂

ive been wanting to find a good Camino icon, as i love this browser the most, finally found 'em on the support page!! so i was content to change it around a bit!

for some reason the download page gives me a 404... weird. Same thing when I tried to go to MacUpdate. Anyone download this recently?

 

[PlaceofDis]

worked fine for me.

can't tell much of a difference with the new gecko engine...looking forward to the optimized versions for g4 and g5

 

[wrc fan]

The optimized builds (well at least mine) aren't based on the same code as 0.8.3, but off of the latest code.

So any advantage to this over firefox or safari?

It all comes down to a personal preference. But I guess you could try reading this post and see if it is useful at all.

but won't the latest optimized builds be based on 0.8.3? or is the latest code not the same as the 0.8.3 code?

 

[wrc fan]

The nightly and optimized builds are based off of a different branch than the .8.x series of releases, so it has newer stuff that's not in the 0.8.3 release. There's a bit more info here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=244087 if you're interested.

Access trouble

I couldn't get to the site using the link provided using Safari, but it worked fine using Camino. Conspiracy theorists, your time starts.....now.

WOW! I downloaded the correct version for my mac (G4 7450) and it is sooo freakin fast! Faster than both Safari and Firefox by a good bit -

 

[nagromme]

Chimera/Camino used to be my favorite until I switched to Safari. I doubt I'll switch back since I'm sold on Safari's UI, but I do want to have the latest Camino on hand for old times sake 🙂

Wow. I've never bothered with an optimized build before because I always figured with today's processors the network was the slowest link.

Boy was I wrong. I'm not making that mistake again!

I liked Camino before, but it was so darned slow... which is why I went to Firefox, but it was so darned buggy (OS X version). I wish FF was as clean as their WinXP version =\

Anyways, is the new Camino noticeably faster?

Try out the optimized versions, and i think you'll be impressed

Under the optimized versions I do not see 7447 the processor used in my eMac.
It the 7400 the correct optimized version to use?

No, you'll want to use the 7450 ones. The 745x and 744x are basically the same except the 744x have less cache.

 

[wrc fan]

Also the 28 March build at the moment is the best to get, the newer ones have a couple of bugs.

Thank you very much. I presently am using the March 28 7450, and this optimized version is noticeably faster. It is pretty ridiculous. Plain Camino is faster than Firefox and Safari; this is really fast.
