Camino 1.0b2 is out
Not that it’s a huge deal but I switched my default browser a few months ago from Safari to Camino. I was getting bored working in the same browser all the time and the interface didn’t seem to inspire me anymore. The Camino project has worked to create a browser that is as functional and elegant as the computers it runs on.
- it just made sense to switch.
The other day they released Camino 1.0 beta 2 and a few cool things were added/fixed that I wanted to point out.
Canvas support
Camino now supports HTML <canvas>. This probably means nothing to a majority of people that read my site but with the HTML cavas tag you can do visual things with code like an image reflection.
Seperate Icon Cache
Camino also added a separate cache for site icons, ensuring that crashing doesn’t erase all the site icons anymore.
It was becoming annoying to come back from a browser crash or glitch only to find all my bookmark icons missing. I’m glad this was taken care of. It’s such a small detail but feels great when resolved.
There are, of course, a lot of other things that helped make 1.0b2 come out and I’m thankful to everyone that contributed to the development. Keep up the good work everyone :-)
Bill Says:
Do you find any performance difference? I thought Safari/KHMTL was supposed to be a faster rendering engine.
I don’t know much about canvas, but I thought I read that Safari 1.3 had support for canvas.
Konq 3.5 doesn’t appear to support it
