  Haven't seen Camino's yet, but the Firefox blocked pop-up banner's  
awful.
  It looks very like what i have adblocker to avoid seeing. A small  
icon somewhere or something similar is quite sufficient if it's just  
big enough and bright enough to catch attention.

  Firefox having extensions is the one reason i'm back to using it as  
my primary browser.  I like Camino for it's lean mean speed, but i  
can't use it for too long before it begins to feel a bit too feature- 
shy.  I keep returning to Firefox primarily for  extensions; most  
notably adblocker.  Ad blocking i can't add to or subtract from  
doesn't cut it.

When i try to sell others on Camino, it being a bit too slim is the  
main thing that turns them off.
