SeaMonkey overview

SeaMonkey is a Web browser that shares much of the same base code as the popular Firefox Web browser. It also contains an advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.

The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver production-quality releases of code derived from the application formerly known as "Mozilla Application Suite". Whereas the main focus of the Mozilla Foundation is on Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, our group of dedicated volunteers works to ensure that you can have "everything but the kitchen sink" and have it stable enough for corporate use.

I tried this again, but the same problems persist after the update. Too much intrusive advertising popping-up and taking up too much room on the screen despite pop-ups being blocked in preferences. Why not make the extensions that are available for Firefox/Waterfox compatible with SeaMonkey? At the moment, the availability of extensions is far too limited and certain aggressive elements from the web are seizing control of the app. However, it is the speediest browser and loads webpages far quickly than any other browser.

Pop-ups, Pop-ups, Pop-ups ... and so it goes on. Even with an optional extension installed, my screen is covered in adverts. The range of extensions available for SeaMonkey isn't as extensive as Firefox - scrolling down the list, I'm told this extension is not compatible with your version (this version) of SeaMonkey. However, it seems like a speedy browser - faster than Firefox and Google.

Today's big update maybe solved many problems, but created a new one. The format and structure of the pages are screwed up. Visiting few websites to test, one site was totally zoomed out and zooming in did nothing. The other site was this, MU, and it was like 300% zoomed in. So...
