This might not seem like much but in the past few years I have grown to love it. The composer app is basically the “compose email” portion of thunderbird with a slightly different interface: From a practical perspective it means one less program to start/kill when I am on limited internet. Perhaps memory usage is lower due to the merge (versus running your browser and email client seperately). I like the integration, but I can’t argue that it really brings any advantages over Thunderbird + a tray icon addon. Thunderbird already contains gecko (Firefox’s HTML engine), so merging the two programs isn’t as far fetched as it might initially sound. Everything was there, no internet connection required. Whilst preparing screenshots for this post I managed to get Seamonkey to open pages from when I last used it three months ago. If I accidentally close a tab whilst offline or want to go back to a previous page then this feature lets me do so without any issues. ![]() No I don’t want to pay for data, that’s a monetary solution to a software problem. Many programs today seem to ignore the fact that much of the world doesn’t have reliable internet, or that people like to read stuff while on the bus. It lets you browse any webpages still in your browser cache when you don’t have an internet connection. I can’t overstate how useful “offline mode” is. Status bar network menu: enabling a proxy or “going offline” are only a click away: A little more on this right at the end of this post. ![]() This theme looks a little goofy and isn’t for everyone, but in the long term it has been the most comfortable and easy to use interface I’ve ever had in a browser. I’m using the LittleMonkey theme and a lot of other customisations to make it fit well on my low-resolution screen. There are occasional bits of anger and bile here, so bring a pointy object. This post reviews several alternative web browsers and email clients I came across whilst soul-searching the waters. I’ve fallen in love with Seamonkey and used it for many years, but external forces have been pushing me away. More importantly: it’s Firefox without the crappy bits and a lot of customisability instead. However, if you prefer to customize your web browser to your liking or want access to the email suite and development tools to run on a low-end system, SeaMonkey can be a good choice.Seamonkey is the community continuation of ‘Netscape’, notably being a merge of Firefox and Thunderbird into one application. The UI looks dated and resembles nothing like the modern age web browsers. Finding the basic functions such as opening a new tab may require you to refer to browser documentation. That said, as a standalone browser, SeaMonkey is not the most intuitive app to use. It also has a built-in HTML editor, IRC Chat support and web development tools to debug and inspect web pages. ![]() It is available on Windows, Linux and macOS platforms.Īpart from the usual web browser features, it comes with mail and newsgroups functions, including tabbed mail, junk mail control and multiple account management. It is a community project based on the Mozilla Application Suite that aims to cater to the needs of advanced users and web developers. SeaMonkey is different from other web browsers in this list.
