Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
The Internet is a vast and wondrous place, but it might be difficult to see its possibilities if you always use the same Web browser. Fortunately, SeaMonkey for Mac offers a new community-sourced browser for Internet surfing.
SeaMonkey for Mac allows users to browse the Internet in a new interface. The program includes a wide number of normal browser functions including modifiable security, privacy, tabs, bookmarks, and history features. This program starts off as a pretty basic-looking browser, but you can easily configure it to suit your preferences. The overall look of the browser interface is similar to other popular browsers, with toolbars, address bar, and bookmark bar all in the expected places. The similarities between this browser and other browsers are beneficial as they allow the user to become comfortable with the program more quickly. The program includes an integrated e-mail application that is loaded with features and also includes instant messaging capabilities. Surfing works smoothly and the browsing speed is similar to other current browsers. This is a free program that is developed by volunteers based on community requests. Users can get involved in developing this program further by suggesting future modifications or by volunteering with development work.
SeaMonkey for Mac is a functional Web browser that has successfully integrated e-mail and instant message applications. This program would be appropriate for both personal and business Internet usage.
Publisher's Description
From Mozilla:
The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to develop the SeaMonkey all-in-one internet application suite (see below). 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, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development tools, SeaMonkey is sure to appeal to advanced users, web developers and corporate users.
What's new in this version:
- SPNEGO/MS KRB5 had stopped working; NTLM SSP was tried instead (bug 857291).
- Click-to-play no longer respected per-site permissions (bug 854867).

"Nice to play with. Won't put too much stock in it."
Version: SeaMonkey 2.15b1
Pros
Nice but incomplete interface.
Cons
Nice but incomplete interface.

Nice to play with. Won't put too much stock in it. Not until there's some serious amount of more work put into it.

"Awesome - Fast and user friendly"
Version: SeaMonkey 2.6.1
Pros
I am an older retired woman and I like things user friendly. Seamonkey is, I play farmville - by Zynga (a game) and was surprised at how fast the game loaded. If you like things easy this is so much better than IE!!!
Cons
none so far

"still a work in progress..."
Version: SeaMonkey 2.6.1
Pros
Reasonably fast; doesn't crash when some applications (such as Flash) are used
Cons
Must use search engine to access a site--cannot go directly to a site just by typing in the web address.
Summary
As I mentioned, still a work in progress. Hopefully more people will discover SeaMonkey and this browser will be more polished as a result.

"Fairly reliable backup browser"
Version: SeaMonkey 2.5
Pros
Reasonably fast; I've experienced no crashes
Cons
Not as versatile as more common browsers like Firefox, Chrome, or Safari
Summary
Lack of versatility hurts this otherwise competent browser.

"Does everything, fast and efficiently"
Version: SeaMonkey 2.0.14
Pros
Fast, clean lines, very customisable
Cons
nothing i can think of.
Summary
I downloaded SeaMonkey to give it a try because it was touted as being faster than all the rest. It's really good but doesn't do anything other browsers don't do and I don't find it any faster than Safari. I probably won't use it as my default but it's worth keeping and it updates it's add-ons automatically without fanfare like Firefox or IE.

"Love it but, CNET, get the download info right!"
Version: SeaMonkey 2.1
Pros
Sea Monkey is my second favorite browser after Safari. Simple to use. Good for teaching kids.
Cons
Only that CNET won't get the version number right. Very annoying and diminishes my confidence in them.
Summary
Good browser
