Firefox vs Camino
- Published December 27th, 2005 in Tech Comment, Free Software, Firefox
Both browsers belong to Mozilla and both use Mozilla’s Gecko engine to render webpages. The difference being that Camino is a native Mac OS X browser, meaning that is uses native widgets and Cocoa for drawing the user interface, providing a familiar look and feel. It is also supposed to be faster — and it is. It loads faster but the rendering time is about the same since they use the same rendering core, Gecko.
I never took a trial on Camino so I decided to do it today. First impressions were good. It loaded quite fast (taking about the same amount of time that Safari requires to load from scratch). Now the bad part: lack of extensions. I didn’t find my beloved WebDeveloper nor del.icio.us which I frequently use.
Having said that I’ll keep my Firefox! :-)
