Anyone try camino yet for Mac. I am not too happy with it, but probably just cause nothing (like MOL) seems to work right.
While we are on the subject, why the need for another mozilla browser?
Mozilla, firefox and now camino |

I don't know the whole history of Camino, but it isn't new. I used it a while back. I was unimpressed by it and continued to use Mozilla.
As for the reason WHY there is a Camino. Well Mozilla is open source, so anyone can take the code and do with it what they will, such as create a different browser with different feature sets. For instance Firefox is mostly the same as Mozilla but with LESS features. Most of these Mozilla variants use the core Mozilla code that handles how to display the HTML on the screen. So they generally display web pages equally as quickly and mostly the same. |

Yes but it is part of the same open source project not different ones. I assume Mozilla has the mail client, firefox is the web client and thunderbird the mail, camino is small and by itself. I haven't been using it at all since it doesn't seem to want to run most pages.
