Camino Browser

Mozilla released 1.0 of the Camino browser, previously code named Chimera, today, and my first reaction is very positive. I've been with happy using Safari, but will consider switching to Camino as my default browser after a week or so of test driving. The first question I had was what is the difference between Firefox and Camino, and the main answer is that wheras Firefox is cross-platform compatible, Camino will only work on the Mac OSX platform. It uses the aqua interface and APIs only available to Mac OSX - the aqua interface of Firefox for Mac is actually fake. By being mac specific, it's tightly integrated with some of the cool features of the mac platform such as Address Book, Keychain, and Bonjour (Rendezvous).

I'll update this post with my review after using it for a week. Cheers.
