    Camino is actually a nice name, IMO. iBrowse (suggested by another commenter) is pretty funny, but I think that runs into the Legal problem again.

    Camino -- "road" -- is not bad metaphorically, either. I think of a pleasant drive on the coast, as apposed to calling it, oh ... "New Jersey Turnpike, The Browser."

    Chimera was a *better*, but Camino is a good enough replacement, and the fact that it's a nice browser is more important ;)

  2. Name suggestion! by sean23007 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They should name it Bellerophon. You know, the guy who killed the Chimera...
