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.
Why not using Thunderbird as mail program instead of SM ?
Ray_Net,
Because I already have SM mail working the way I like it, and I don't
want to have to go through a new install, configuration, connecting to
4 email accounts, and figure out how to get TB to open links in Chrome.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I suppose that because thunderbird is not a suite, the only way of
starting a browser to open a link is to pass the link information to
the default browser - more simple than using SM.
