Yea, I still love SM since I had been a suite user since Netscape's
days. I really hope SM gets the newer Geck web browser engines soon so
it can be fast as current Firefox's. If it gets worse, then I will have
to use Firefox (don't like its GUI) and Thunderbird separately. :(

Have you seen the latest Thunderbird? Ugh. I prefer SeaMonkey over both
Thunderbird and FireFox. If someone could develop a SeaMonkey theme for
them perhaps I could tolerate them, but as is now I use FireFox only
when I absolutely must.

If you must use Chrome then use Ungoogled Chromium or Brave Browser instead - they use the Chrome engine but they come without the Google tracking. You should try using Waterfox as a browser. Its like Seamonkey but it is more updated. If you need any NPAPI plugins or are suing a old computer, download the Classic version. Otherwise, download the current version. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Is your SM better if you use an ad blocker with uBlock Origin? It's not
perfect, but it helps. Lots of web sites don't care for older browsers
like SeaMonkey that use older Gecko web browser engine (Firefox v57). If
you try the new Firefox v81.0.1, lots of web sites work fine even with
ads (not recommended IMO). :(

Re: Undoing in SM's web browser's web URL address form box.
On 03/10/2020 18:46, Ant wrote: I noticed if I undo (^Z or with the mouse), I get old past web URL addresses even in new empty tabs. Is this by design? Shouldn't it only remember what was used in this tab only? I believe the fact that there is one bar for all tabs in a browser window is a hint. The same doesn't happen between windows. Also, there is a valid use case. You accidentally type a URL in the bar for a tab that you didn't mean to overwrite, delete it, switch to an empty tab, Undo, and there's your URL ready to go. Underlying this is the metaphor that each window holds a set of related tabs, so that the user brings up a single window for some task, information source, or whatever. Less satisfactory is the interaction with the OS. While tabbing can hide what would otherwise be a group of browser windows from task switchers and task bars, it breaks the Alt-Tab function for switching between the most recent GUI contexts. Here, currently, Firefox wins over SeaMonkey by allowing a tab to be promoted to a window (drag the tab out of the window) and then re-tabbed (drag the promoted tab back to the original); in the current SM, dragging a tab only works into another tab bar, and then it just replicates the dragged tab. /df -- London UK ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
