Web Devout tidings

The Mozilla group has released Camino 1.0, a web browser for Mac OS X based on the Gecko rendering engine which also powers Firefox, SeaMonkey, and other browsers. Although several Gecko-based web browsers are available for Mac OS X, Camino has been specifically optimized for the Macintosh.

Following Microsoft’s recent decision to discontinue support for the Macintosh version of Internet Explorer, Camino joins Safari, iCab, Opera, and Firefox as a viable and more modern alternative.

Edit: Added iCab to list of modern Mac OS X browsers.

Can sex appeal encourage people to switch to a more modern web browser? Femfox.com hopes so. Femfox.com is a grassroots Firefox promotional website with a glamorous twist. It is the brainchild of a 31-year-old woman who is featured in the website’s main attraction: a series of photographs, called “Episodes”, of the amateur model in seductive poses. The site aims to use glamour, seduction, and humor to draw the attention of new audiences to the Firefox web browser.
