Camino description

Camino™ is a web browser optimized for Mac OS X with Cocoa user interface, and powerful Gecko layout engine. It's the simple, secure, and fast browser for Mac OS X.

Camino practices the art of simplicity with an uncluttered user interface but with the features you expect from a modern browser like tabbed browsing and pop-up blocking settings.

Integrated with Google, Camino's Google search field lets you find what you need faster.

We take your security and privacy seriously. That's why Camino comes with advanced cookie settings. Camino also helps you recognize when entering and leaving secure web sites.

One of the fastest browsers on MacOS X -innovative features enhance what you get out of the internet.

The power behind Camino is the Gecko rendering engine, built and tested by thousands of volunteers, incorporating the absolute cutting edge in web innovations.
