    Since the release of Firefox 3, is there a reason to use Camino anymore?

    Well I can't wait for Camino 2.0 to become official, because that's going to be very snappy and light, and I think it will blaze FF3 when it's all said and done. Camino 1.6 is lacking, but 2.0 has potential... ;)

    It's a Mozilla based browser, so it has the same engine as FF. It really seems lighter to me, but that's just me. I'm telling you, Camino 2 is going to be awesome, just wait for it. ;)

    Yes, Camino will be another fun and usable browser to consider. But with Mozilla currently concentrating with Shiretoko, it will be some catching up for Camino.

    One thing that is holding me back is that Camino is still using the same engine as FF3 (1.9.0), whereas Shiretoko = 1.9.1 and Minefield is 1.9.2

    cheers ...
