SeaMonkey is a standalone browser that allows you to use the Internet comfortably. The SeaMonkey browser is based on the Mozilla Suite, which ceased development in 2006. As it continued to evolve, the independent Mozilla community began to develop a suite of Internet applications under the SeaMonkey name.
The SeaMonkey software consists of a number of applications which make your work on the web comfortable, fast and above all safe.
SeaMonkey’s strengths:
- SeaMonkey is not only a browser, but also an IRC client, a mail program, a news program, a linker (creating HTML pages) and an address book. These components are included in SeaMonkey but can also be installed individually.
- The SeaMonkey interface is simple and fast. It is tabbed and easy to use. The interface is based on XUL and CSS which makes SeaMonkey quick and easy to use.
- SeaMonkey lets you change the appearance of the browser.
- As well as in Firefox there is support for a large number of plugins. All plug-ins that are already installed are automatically updated each time you load the application.
- Since SeaMonkey has great technical capabilities, the use of additional plug-ins reduces to a few pieces, thereby increasing the safety of the browser.
- SeaMonkey can be officially installed on Linux, Windows and Mac OS and not officially on BeOS, OS/2 and Solaris.
- SeaMonkey has a very large number of settings, which means that the browser can be very flexibly customized to your needs and preferences.
- It is very easy to work with the browser by means of the mouse wheel. This can be adjusted in the SeaMonkey preferences.
