Camino warning - Unresponsive script ??? - JEBB - 12-27-2012
Camino 2.1.2 was running just fine until a week ago using less memory than other browsers. Now I get the spinning beach ball and eventually the message: "Unresponsive Script" all the time. Any ideas what might be the cause? I have removed the cookies and that helped but only for a short while.

Is it Yahoo! related? Their sites have been causing nightmares recently with the old 10.4 G5...

I don"t believe so.

I have been seeing the same occasionally on various web sites.

Yes, I've seen this a lot recently on Yahoo pages, and also occasionally Facebook. Best thing is to click 'stop script' when it happens. Also, ebay has been adding ads from pubmatic.com that cause ebay to foul up Camino, so I've had to add pubmatic.com to my blocked websites.

Camino is getting a bit old. As far as I know, Camino will never have a newer version of Gecko, which means Camino is roughly equivalent to Firefox 3.6. I loved Camino, but things seem a bit dim, especially when PowerPC Macs running 10.4 and 10.5 are capable of a better Gecko based browser (TenFourFox). Probably a good time to start planning migration to a different browser.

For the past week, I'm also seeing many spinning beach balls when viewing Yahoo web pages with Camino. I suspect some wild advertisements are to blame. For the same period of time, I'm also seeing 'Yahoo recommends Firefox' appear at the bottom of all web pages.

I even get them on Firefox running 10.5.8

Yes, Camino is getting a bit old, and I *wasn't* happy with what they did with v2.1.x and URL autocomplete behavior. The problem is that I've not seen a better browser, as far as simplicity and speed are concerned. Hopefully the developers get their act in gear...

There's not much that can be done. No more embedded Gecko means no more Camino. I suppose Camino could switch to Webkit.
