Camino (from the Spanish word camino meaning "way", "path" or "road") is a free, open source, GUI-based Web browser based on Mozillas Gecko layout engine and specifically designed for the Mac OS X operating system. In place of an XUL-based user interface used by most Mozilla-based applications, Camino uses Mac-native Cocoa APIs, although it does not use native text boxes.

As Caminos aim is to integrate as well as possible with the Mac OS, it uses the Aqua user interface and integrates a number of Mac OS X services and features such as the Keychain for password management and Bonjour for scanning available bookmarks across your local network. Other notable features include an integrated Pop-up blocker and Ad blocker, tabbed browsing, and support for open standards.

The browser is developed by the Camino Project, a community organization. Mike Pinkerton has been the technical lead of the Camino project since Dave Hyatt moved to the Safari team at Apple Inc. in mid-2002.

History
In late 2001, Mike Pinkerton and Vidur Apparao started a project within Netscape to prove that Gecko could be embedded in a Cocoa application. 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.

The first downloadable build of Chimera 0.1 was released on February 13 2002. The early releases became popular due to their fast page-loading speeds (as compared with then-dominant Mac browser, Microsofts Internet Explorer version 5). Many claimed it was the fastest Web browser on the Mac, although it was not as feature-complete as its competitors.
