This program has really been growing on me lately. Was using it as an alternate browser but gradually finding it to be very stable with quite a few nice extra settings. Additionally, the very stable and clean included HTML editor has made my life a LOT easier.
V2.11
I tested this briefly last week. I was thinking that it would be just as customizable as Firefox. Unfortunately, this was not the case.
Below are my comparisons between Firefox and Seamonkey.
The IRC client is simply the Firefox extension, ChatZilla, bundled into Seamonkey.
As for addons, some of the most popular Firefox addons such as Adblock Plus and Stylish are available; however, a lot of other extensions have not been ported over.
Skins are lacking as well and I found it hard to customize the interface; the default look and feel reminds me a lot of the older Firefox builds (pre-v3.0).
Overall, Seamonkey is functional. But, if you're looking for a customization experience similar to Firefox, you will be disappointed.
V2.12
Have not used in a while-was ready to install 2.13 then this new version came along!Seems like the update it every week,geeze let me intall it!I do like it,not the most lovely browser but cool anyway.
v2.14.1
Includes a lot of great features and tools, but would love to see an updated, smoother interface or some updates to compare with the very intuitive Firefox and Thunderbird.
V2.3
