Accesskey Patch for Camino

June 25, 2005

Oh happy day! A patch has finally been submitted that enables accesskey support for Camino.

When a nightly is built that includes this patch, Camino will be the Best Mac Browser™, period. :)

    I don’t really get why Camino would be the the greatest browser for the mac. Yes, it is the best browser if that is all you do, browse websites, but it does not support XUL like Firefox. So there is no expandibility.

    The best part of Firefox is:

    http://www.iosart.co[...]/colorzilla/
    http://editcss.mozdev.org/

    I would think these extensions would make Firefox so productive that you would use it instead of Camino.

    Camino?

    Alex King brought up Camino as the best mac browser and I really beg to differ.

    Well, on MAJOR reason is that Camino uses native Mac controls, making it much more pleasant to use. Firefox controls look horribly out of place in OS X.

    I completely agree that Firefox is the best browser for web development.

    It actually seems that most Mac users put Firefox last among major Mac browsers, brhind Safari and Camino.

    I prefer Firefox myself, as I have and use regularly the extentions. If Camino could support Firefox extentions, I would consider switching.

    Even then, I don’t know what I would decide on between Safari and Camino.

    Gecko vs. KHTML is still not much of a contest. While KHTML is improving, a quick search for “safari” on this blog will return you a half dozen bugs that have affected my web apps; several of them are or were bugs that would crash Safari – not good.

    I agree. While Safari has a lot of features; dictionary, spelling, and all the other things built into the OS it has a lot of bugs. Even with the new webkit, Safari just gives a lot of errors or fails to load pages, pages it really should have no problem with.

    I love Camino and I use it for Flash and Chinese language web sites, neither of which work properly for me in Firefox; however, there are two things I depend on in Firefox which don’t seem to be possible to use in Camino.

    The first is the Scrapbook Plugin:

    And the Session Saver Plugin:

    http://kb.mozillazin[...]SessionSaver

    Now it seems like Camino could conceivably implement something like Session Saver built-in, but Scrapbook seems to depend on XUL, so I don’t think it will ever be implemented. On the other hand, I could see someone developing an AJAX version of Scrapbook that would work with any browser…

    I use Firefox’s Scrapbook extension often. I can’t understand why Safari’s developers don’t consider this an indispensable tool. I can’t find a Scrapbook to use with Camino. Firefox remains my main browser.
