My most favoritest of browsers on the Mac has been updated! Camino arrives at version 1.5 today. Download it here. An upgraded rendering engine, integration with the Mac’s spellchecking services, better/tighter integration with Keychain, and (one of my favorites) RSS detection and badging in the address bar a la Firefox. As if you didn’t already […]
Correo “…a new mail client for OS X…” – – Correo is to Thunderbird as Camino is to Firefox? (tags: Camino Correo Mac OSX opensource email Cocoa software)
As Firefox, Camino, and Mozilla basically use the same HTML rendering engine, that means IE is only 6% more of the audience. PNGs stay.
A few months ago in my “pre-packaged Apple apps vs. Mozilla equivalents” round-up, I made mention of how Apple’s Mail (or the dreaded “Mail.app” if you prefer) application had mediocre signature support. My criticism went something like: Pain in the butt. Can’t reference external files and what’s worse, you can’t edit the HTML source of […]

Been toying around with doing this list for a while now. The question: What are the top 10 software applications for OS X (that aren’t out-of-the-box, mind you) that are absolutely essential? The top 10 apps that I couldn’t live without: Quicksilver (http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/) – The launcher to end all launchers. Is there anything this app […]
While reviewing some traffic info and site stats, I noticed that my current leading search phrases are: “Bonjour Firefox” and “Firefox Bonjour”. For those of you who (like me) asked the question: How do I take advantage of Apple’s Bonjour technology AND the well-received Gecko HTML rendering engine? …I have the following advice: Get on […]
As the “Mozilla vs. Apple” debate continues here at F_D, Gruber and a few others in my RSS feeds point out: Camino goes to 1.0 beta 2. Great. A Cocoa-based browser with the Gecko engine underneath. Before I know it, I’ll have all 83 browsers loaded up…
