SeaMonkey for Windows

User Reviews

• More feature full than anything else but still fast.

  jcd__000January 16, 2016

  Pros

  All the efficiency and customizability of the current firefox packed with a thunderbird-like mail app plus more goodies (WYSIWYG html editor anyone?) and faster than firefox to boot. Besides, it is at least as stable as Firefox, no crashes whatsoever in my pc, and i have tried lots of plugins until now.

  Cons

  UI is a bit dated and not a s space-efficient as chrome's or f-fox's. But with a little work, plugins like SeaFox and some nice backround theme, you can make it as good as chrome in this regard. Also, not all firefox add-ons are compatible, but the most essential ones are.

  Summary

  This is firefox as it should be. I am using it for all my browsing/mailing needs.

• Very unstable

  wombat1000October 22, 2015

  Pros

  Combined browser and email reader.

  Cons

  Crashes all the time.

  Summary

  This used to be a great webbrowser, but in the recent releases, during the last year or so, it has started to crash all the time, at least five times a day, and with 2.38, it has more than doubled that amount. I stopped counting at the twelfth crash yesterday.

• Great browser

  July 7, 2015

  Pros

  Great browser

  Cons

  Needs better security encryption. I keep getting alerts saying it's blocked some content of my pages.

  Summary

  Great browser just needs to work on improved encryption for web pages.

• Don't get fooled by the ancient look; it's superb

  adkrish22290June 8, 2014

  Pros

  * Stable, doesn't crash or hang * Fast and responsive * User friendly * Unlike Firefox, it allows users to log in to Facebook, eBay or mail accounts without giving warning * Customisable; the Modern theme especially makes the browser look less old and eye appealing

  Cons

  * Most Firefox add-ons (barring a few such as Adblock Plus) are not compatible with SeaMonkey * Design looks ancient (it resembles the oldest versions of Firefox); won't appeal to all

  Summary

  Don't be fooled by its ancient design folks. This browser is seriously fast and stable. It's faster than Firefox and much more user friendly than Google Chrome or Internet Explorer (and even Firefox Australis). For those who want to escape from Firefox Australis, but still want a Firefox-based browser, this one is for you.

• Excellent - needed to replace netscape 7.2 on windows 8

  Renep57December 2, 2013

  Pros

  I make a very small simple rabbit rescue website using html and netscape 7.2. I just couldn't figure a way of continuing to update this once without all the hassle of either writing everything out or transferring to an alternative such as wordpress or similar. So far it seems to work as easily as before.

  Cons

  Can't think of any as this solved my problem. However if you need a more up to date website and are starting from the ground up it may not be the ideal solution for you.

• Very Nice (editor works for me)

  MyhrddinMay 23, 2013

  Pros

  Not sure why the other reviewer can't get the editor to work. I use it regularly to update pages or even make new ones and no worries. I don't make anything really fancy so maybe that's why its fine for me. I love that its quick, secure, plenty of add-ons and extensions to customize it just how you like it. Great email client and yes, the html composer for making or editing web pages.

  Cons

  I don't have much bad to say really. You do have to be careful with the Privacy tool as you can clear out your cookies or passwords without an extra warning But, if you've checked those at the tick window and then clicked clear now at the bottom, maybe ya shouldn't have done it when you were in a hurry.?.! :) One thing that I've had trouble with in Any browser lately relates to coupon.com coupon printing, aint workin' in Seamonkey either right now :( Hope that gets rectified soon though. If it works in firefox, it has the same engine in this Mozilla product too.! Everything else though, just call me Super Happy Fun Customer!

  Summary

  I'm so thankful that Seamonkey is around as the most direct successor to Mosaic / Netscape and that its really still a force to be reckoned with. Fast, elegant, great privacy controls as well as having everything I need online in one well-designed application. Looks great with the iCandyJr theme from Aaron Spuler using Foood's icons.!

• HORRIBLE editor

  ThirdDay--2008April 30, 2013

  Pros

  Well, it's free, but that's about it. You get what you pay for.

  Cons

  Nothing is truly free, it all comes with some cost. The cost of attempting to use this as a web editor is that it doens't work. I can't even get it to open an existing file. I'm a professional web developer and use all kinds of software all day long. This is junk!

• Does a great job

  crevindiouxMarch 27, 2013

  Pros

  - Integrated e-mail client does everything well - Lateral bar is the best for someone who regularly needs to make searches - Now saving in the mht format (not html) is fully compatible with other browsers and believe me I have tested it tens of times - Everything can be customized - Allows you to evade Internet advertising, even without intrusive add-ons like Adblock -just edit your preferences in Tools/ cookies or Tools/ popup windows)

  Cons

  - I needed a long time to fully understand all it can do - Setting email accounts' setup really correctly has taken me much time (you need to setup each account, for the outgoing and the ingoing part. It could by default suppose that settings are just the same). - Private browsing is missing - Some Firefox extensions don't work on Seamonkey

  Summary

  All in all as said above it works great. It is now my default browser.

• A really good Internet Suite.

  GCG1000February 14, 2013

  Pros

  Very convenient, stable and easy to use with a clean GUI that will please the seasoned professional as well as the novice. Puts every essential Web app in one neat package. Very FAST, comprehensive, safe and stable! My current default and I'm happy with SM.

  Cons

  I'd Like to seed a 64-bit version.

  Summary

  Good choice for the professional use, and it's FREE.
