![]() ![]() Camino 0.7 was available on Maand a testament to open source – the path Netscape chose for its future when it launched the Mozilla project that gave us Firefox.Ĭamino remained a “preview” project until February 14, 2006, when Camino 1.0 became a reality. The team abandoned the Chimera name for legal reasons and adopted Camino, Spanish for road, as the new name for their browser. Unfortunately, AOL, which owned Netscape at that time, pulled the rug from under them two days before the Expo. Undaunted by the loss, the small Chimera team continued to develop their browser in hopes of previewing it at the January 2003 Macworld Expo in San Francisco. Hyatt must have impressed the people at Apple because in mid-2002 Apple hired him to help develop Apple’s own browser, which eventually arrived as Safari. ![]() Other browsers used Cocoa as their rendering engine, but Gecko put Internet Explorer and OmniWeb (the first OS X browser) to shame. It started with the Netscape code that had been honed since 1994 and set it free to run like lightning on PowerPC hardware and Mac OS X. But this is 5-year-old Camino, which was already outdated by the time of its last update. Low End Mac probably looks just like this in your modern, up-to-date browser.
