Mac users have a dizzying array of web broswers to choose from, which makes finding a favorite a tricky thing. A new release of Camino, the Mozilla based browser with native Mac OS X controls, has been released. The browser uses the Gecko rendering engine so you get all the goodness of FireFox ( except extentions I guess).

Camino 1.5 has just been released, and it is a very nice update indeed. New in this release is:

• In-line spell checking! This is Firefox 2’s most notable feature, but Camino does it a little differently. While it does check text fields for misspellings as you type, it actually uses the Mac OS X dictionary instead of providing an additional dictionary like Firefox does.
• Session restore - just like Firefox, Camino
  will now offer to restore your tabs after a crash. It can also be set to automatically restore your tabs after you restart the browser.
• Keychain compatibility - use the same Keychain entries for both Safari and Camino
• Feed notifications - Camino recognizes when there is a feed available for a site, and if you want it will use the Mac OS X default feed reader to subscribe to it.
• Single window mode - prevents sites from opening another window.
• Improved pop-up blocker - blocks pop-ups and also has Flash blocking capabilities (with the option to whitelist a site).
• Gecko rendering engine 1.8.1

All of this and more, for the low, low price of free. Learn more about it with the release notes.
