I know quite a few Mac users, and all use Firefox with a Mac-like skin on it. They like it that way, but there are always the people who like to use the software built for the operating system they are running. The only problem is that the developers of these applications typically run an entire version behind the existing Firefox. By the time Flock gets there version out that is based on Firefox 2, Firefox 3 will probably be just a few months away. Then the Flock developers have to start all over again trying to get Firefox 3 in there. Eventually they will probably branch off of Firefox and do their own work because it will get too hard trying to keep up, but the projects just seem to get further and further behind Firefox.

I don't have a problem with it mind you, I just think it's interesting. For instance, I think it's great that Firefox engine is so great it's expanding into other creations... but what's the benefit? Like I don't use Netscape, and if I had a Mac I wouldn't use Camino... because I can just use Firefox and it does everything I want it to. The only one I see any real benefit to is Flock because it uses Firefox as its engine but has really defined itself and redesigned how the UI works and added a lot of functionality. Anyway, just some thoughts. Firefox rules! :mrgreen: I’m curious what people think about these other browsers using the Firefox engine.
