Camino 1.6 Adds Tweaked UI, Multitouch Support and More

The free, open-source Mac OS X web browser from The Camino Project, Camino, has been updated to version 1.6. Camino (formerly known as Chimera) is a web browser for Mac OS X that has a Cocoa user interface and embeds the Gecko layout engine. The latest version adds a tweaked up UI, improvements to the navigating tabs, a Safari-like search interface and support for multi-touch gestures for back, forward, page up, and page down.

Although still in the beta stage of its development, The Camino Project hopes more Mac users will embrace the simplicity of its free-to-download web browser for the Mac OS X. Camino is a good solution for day-to-day web browsing, being optimized for Mac OS X with a Cocoa user interface and powerful Gecko layout engine, which make it a simple yet secure, fast browser for Mac OS X.

Even though Camino sports an uncluttered user interface that doesn't mean it lacks the features you'd normally expect from a modern browser, such as tabbed browsing and pop-up blocking settings. Integrated with Google, Camino's Google search field lets you find faster what you need, while security measures have also been implemented in the software.

Note-worthy features available with the release of Camino version 1.6 are: Safari now appears in the list of available feed readers on Mac OS X 10.4 and above; opening a history item from the recent pages at the top of the History menu in a new tab or window by holding down the Command key works again; Camino now supports multi-touch gestures for back, forward, page up, and page down; the Camino disk image no longer has scrollbars on Mac OS X 10.5 when the Finder’s path bar is enabled...
