First, Camino is a bit more colorful. The navigation keys I mentioned in the

previous paragraph, such as the back and forward buttons and the home button,

have color in Camino, as opposed to the gray color in the default Firefox

browser. However, you can download add-ons on Firefox that can change the

look to the browser, which leads to my second point. Camino does not have

the ability to download add-ons, like different browser formats or built-in

YouTube video downloader's.

The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to develop the SeaMonkey all-in-one internet

application suite (see below). Such a software suite was previously made popular by

Netscape and Mozilla, and the SeaMonkey project continues to develop and deliver high-

quality updates to this concept. Containing an Internet browser, email & newsgroup client

with an included web feed reader, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development tools,

SeaMonkey is sure to appeal to advanced users, web developers and corporate users.

Under the hood, SeaMonkey uses much of the same Mozilla source code which powers

such successful siblings as Firefox, Thunderbird, Camino, Sunbird and Miro. Legal backing is

provided by the Mozilla Foundation.
