The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to develop the SeaMonkey Internet Application Suite. Such a software suite was previously made popular by Netscape and Mozilla, and the SeaMonkey project continues to develop and deliver high-quality updates to this concept. Containing an Internet browser, email & newsgroup client with an included web feed reader, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development tools, SeaMonkey is sure to appeal to advanced users, web developers and corporate users.

    Part of my thought processes: Do Waterfox and Palemoon and Seamonkey keep up with the security fixes good enough? Or do they let them slip by?

    Can't say I'm a Brave fan since it's not open source. I guess that shows my feelings for Chrome. Not that I'm happy with what Firefox has done over the years.

    I use Firefox, Chrome, and Chromium. I'm unwilling to invest more time by downloading yet more web browsers unless there is a compelling reason. The UI stupid has infected Windows and Linux so badly, I just kind of go with it in the browsers these days.

    But I like to keep my eyes open in case something turns up.

    I thought that being chromium derived makes it open source by necessity, and there is the building instructions, but ofc it doesn't ensure it's free software with all the tricks with licensing and shit, do you have more info about brave not being free software? what are the naughty bits?

      I'm one of the lucky 10,000 today. Thank you.

      Brave was not always open source which is why I thought they were closed source. On Wikipedia [wikipedia.org], you can find information about that under "history" and "critical reception".

      I don't like the idea that it is chromium derived (for monoculture reasons), but I'll check them out when I have a few minutes.
