History

In late 2001 Mike Pinkerton and Vidur Apparao started a project within Netscape to prove that Gecko could be embedded in a Cocoa application. In early 2002 Dave Hyatt, one of the co-creators of Firefox (then called Phoenix), joined the team and built Chimera, a small, lightweight browser wrapper, around their work. Year 2001 (MMI) was a common year starting on Monday (link displays the 2001 Gregorian calendar). ... Mike Pink Pinkerton is a software developer working on the Mozilla browsers. ...

The first downloadable build of Chimera 0.1 was released on February 13, 2002. The early releases became popular due to their fast page-loading speeds (as compared with then-dominant Mac browser, Microsoft's Internet Explorer version 5). Many claimed it was the fastest Web browser on the Mac, although it was not as feature-complete as its competitors. is the 44th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Hyatt was hired by Apple Computer in mid-2002 to start work on what would become Safari. Meanwhile, the Chimera developers got a small team together within Netscape, with dedicated development and QA, to put together a Netscape-branded technology preview for the January 2003 Macworld Conference. However, two days before the show, AOL management decided to abandon the entire project. Despite this setback, a skeleton crew of QA and developers released Camino 0.7 on March 3, 2003.

The name was changed from Chimera to Camino for legal reasons. Because of its roots in Greek mythology, Chimera has been a popular choice of name for hypermedia systems. One of the first graphical web browsers was called Chimera,^[1] and researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have also developed a complete hypermedia system of the same name.^[2] Camino is Spanish for "path", and the name was chosen to continue the "Navigator" motif.^[3] The bust of Zeus found at Otricoli (Sala Rotonda, Museo Pio-Clementino, Vatican) Greek mythology is the body of stories belonging to the Ancient Greeks concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. ...

While version 0.7 was primarily a Netscape-driven release kept afloat at the end by open source, version 0.8 was, according to lead developer Pinkerton, "a triumph of open source and open process. People from all around the world helped with patches, QA, bug triage, localization, artwork, and evangelism." ... A technical evangelist is a person who promotes the use of a particular product or technology through talks, articles, user demonstrations, recorded demonstrations, or the creation of sample projects. ...

In February 2005, Josh Aas, one of the lead developers of Camino, was employed by the Mozilla Foundation to improve support for Mac OS X in projects such as Firefox, Thunderbird, and the Mozilla toolkit.

Comparison to Firefox

One of the major advantages of Camino over Firefox is the use of native Mac OS X widgets, instead of the XUL interface, which means that Camino blends in with other applications better. It is also faster than Firefox.^[4]

Another advantage that Camino has over Firefox is in its bookmarks management. It allows tab groups to be 'auto-tabbed', providing the ability to open a group of tabs with a single click. Also, Camino provides a much more intuitive bookmarks management system similar to that of the Safari web browser (which in turn borrowed its bookmarks management system from the popular music jukebox iTunes). This has provided a familiar environment for users of Safari which comes as the standard browser in Mac OS X.
