Camino is pretty slick. clap.gif

I d'loaded Safari and Camino.


Side by side, at first take, I have to say Camino is seeing a good deal more use. biggrin.gif

('course I've been sentimental to Mozilla for awhile)

It renders pages I would say at least twice as fast as Safari does on my machine (that's just my take) and I like the fact that it supports tabbed browsing and popup killing just as Safari does.  smile.gif

Take care.

I'd like to try Camino. What is the latest build? I found 0.7 that came out in March.

Yeah Chris.!.
So far I like Camino.
Loads -all sorts of whatever- faster than IE and Safari on my boxes.
Something I noticed the other day though.
In just about any of the other browsers somewhere you can 'view' the loading process of files,pages etc. Either at the bottom of a page for example or up in the address bar.
Haven't been able to find the on/off switch for that feature in Camino.  
For myself being on dialup,that is kind of a 'watch-must-have' feature. Meaning if -whatever- is too large .... later gator,when I have more time.

Bill -

I guess I'm not sure what you're referring to.

Are you referring to a status bar at the bottom of the browser window (which on the edition I have shows a bar similar to Mozilla with progress meter on the right-hand side of the bar and a written status on the left-hand side).

Outside of that, Camino has it's own Download manager window (though it's not called that - that's a Mozilla thingy) that will allow you to bring to front to see the status.

Nothing out front right away, you're right, but I look at the status bar and normally I've got d'loads running in the background.

'Course, I'm on DSL at home and a dedicated circuit at work, so I don't have to worry about the dial-up problem. TOTALLY understand that issue, though, Bill, and can totally sympathize.

I did it for so long and finally took the plunge as my contract came up and jumped on Bell's $34.95 deal.

Works well. smile.gif

My wife really likes it, but she doesn't understand why Mozilla is so much faster than IE (on the PC side, AND rendering on the Mac side - takes more to get the engine up on the Mac)....... clap.gif

Told her I thought it was great that she could use Mozilla.

Take care, Bill.

Chris.
Say you click into this.
With IE you have the progress [status] on how the page is loading at the bottom.
Safari is the same basically plus up in the address the bar slowly loads overlapping the url.
I haven't found a way to 'view' such a feature in Camino (if there is one) yet.

Now hush up on that speed-o internet talk. <gr>
What do you guys care. smile.gif
Ya got it in a flash anyways. biggrin.gif
