Yeah, could we have all of that natively by the end of the summer please? ;-) Another thing I'd like to see is slightly more advanced/configurable ad-blocking. The ability to easily edit the black/white-lists (either within Camino or by launching the appropriate editor) would be nice, as would subscriptions to blacklists (Adblock-pro style) to keep the thing up-to-date.

However, PDF support is very difficult; I know of at least three attempts in the last year to write plug-ins that have failed or run out of steam. Hooking up to PDFKit is simple; it’s the handling of events and other things that are necessary for the plug-in to be a good citizen that are very difficult. As for Tabsposé, there’s a fully functional (but not fully polished) implementation of it on the trunk; you can invoke it with Cmd-Ctrl-T. After Jeff finished that milestone, we pulled him off of Tabsposé and made him work on bugs for 1.6, but now that 1.6 is winding down, he’s starting to look at the remaining issues again.

As for native PDF support, you can print to them directly and the OS opens them nicely in Preview. Not sure what more you'd need? Perhaps save-as-PDF (without using the print mechanism, so you get all the screen/background styles)? I guess it might be nice to open PDFs directly inside a tab? Did Tabspose ever get finished?
