Camino is Mozilla’s Mac-based web browser. Its a Firefox product and FF has a solid following among Mac users who appreciate its speed. Its a lightweight and fast browser compared to firefox.

Camino is a feature rich web browser and includes several features including Phishing and Malware Protection, Content zoom, fast updates etc.  Of course, it has been almost a year since Camino 2.0 first went into beta testing in last December and it’s still not done yet. Meanwhile, in that time, there have been three official releases of Google chrome but there is no Mac version of it available till now.

The interesting thing here is the developer of Camino Mike Pinkerton has now joined Google to develop Mac version of Chrome. Now it seems that the development of Camino will be neglected. But Mike assured that development on Camino would continue. Pinkerton is currently a Technical Lead for Google Desktop for Mac.

If this not affects development of Camino it is for sure that mozilla will continue to lead the sector but if it affects then probability is Chrome can capture mac browser market.
