camino no go
For those of you readers who have Macs and are thinking of using Camino as a web browser, be aware that there are at least two issues which prevent me from using it. One is (presumably) fixable, one is not.
The fixable one — at least I hope it is fixable — is that when you open a link in a new tab, Camino seems to think that you also want that tab to have focus. This occurs even if you have the “open links in background” option checked off. Very annoying, but I assume this behavior is simply a bug that will be fixed over time.
The second issue is related to design. From the Camino FAQ:
Camino needs RSS!
Camino is not intended to be a Swiss Army Knife Internet tool. The extent of Camino’s RSS support will be its ability to detect a feed and hand that feed off to the reader of your choice. This functionality does not yet exist, but will be part of Camino 1.1.
This design choice means that I can’t use my delicious bookmark synchronization technique.
I’m sure Camino is a great browser for some people. For now, I’m sticking with Firefox on my Mac.
