The first downloadable build of Chimera 0.1 was released on February 13, 2002.
#CAMINO BROWSER FOR MAC CODE#
"Chimera" is a mythological beast with parts taken from various animals and as the new browser represented an early example of Carbon/C++ code interacting with Cocoa/ Objective-C code, the name must have seemed apt. 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. In late 2001, Mike Pinkerton and Vidur Apparao started a project within Netscape to prove that Gecko could be embedded in a Cocoa application. Mike Pinkerton had been the technical lead of the Camino project since Dave Hyatt moved to the Safari team at Apple Inc. The browser was developed by the Camino Project, a community organization. Other notable features included an integrated pop-up blocker and ad blocker, and tabbed browsing that included an overview feature allowing tabs to be viewed all at once as pages. Īs Camino's aim was to integrate as well as possible with OS X, it used the Aqua user interface and integrated a number of OS X services and features such as the Keychain for password management and Bonjour for scanning available bookmarks across the local network. On May 30, 2013, the Camino Project announced that the browser is no longer being developed.
In place of an XUL-based user interface used by most Mozilla-based applications, Camino used Mac-native Cocoa APIs. 14 March 2012 10 years ago ( 14 March 2012)Ĭamino (from the Spanish word camino meaning "path") is a discontinued free, open source, GUI-based Web browser based on Mozilla's Gecko layout engine and specifically designed for the OS X operating system.
