It is with much sadness that I must abandon SeaMonkey as a web browser.
I have been a loyal user since Mosaic in 1993, then Netscape Navigator,
then SM. However, I have become overwhelmed by the quantity and
complexity of fixes, tweaks, configs, spoofs, and kluges, each
constantly needing updating, to get SM to fully function on a wide
variety of URLs at a rapid speed.
Where once its customizability was a bonus, it is now a burden. SM
seems to have been brought down by the difference between "you can do
all this to make it work however you want" and "you have to do all this
to make it work at all."
I certainly appreciate all the hard work a dwindling number of
developers have put in to keep SM alive.
I will continue to use the Mail & Newsgroup functions, which I like a
lot. I have managed to make email links clicked in SM Email open in
Chrome, which is now my default. I have always resisted adopting the
most current offering from the Macrofirms of the digital world, but it
has become too burdensome to continue being a browser salmon.
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Lance
