SeaMonkey for Mac

User Reviews

• SeaMonkey 2.26.1

  June 21, 2014

  Pros

  This is a fairly easy to use browser. I downloaded it to use it with the AARP web site since Firefox and Safari no longer do. SeaMonkey will be my backup browser instead of Opera. SeaMonkey is similar enough to Firefox that I could make it my go to browser.

  Cons

  Some of the SeaMonkey preferences/settings are not easy to find. Even though it's from Mozilla, the preferences menu is not the same as Firefox's preferences menu.

  Summary

  SeaMonkey is a decent browser for most users whether they prefer links to open in tabs or to open in separate windows. It really is flexible in that respect.

• My favourite browser

  PaulKBFebruary 8, 2014

  Pros

  This is the only internet suite still being developed. In the early internet days Internet suites were more common. SeaMonkey integrates browser, email, and a simple (but for me adequate) html web editor. I love the integration between the browser and mail. Seamonkey uses the same rendering engine (GECKO) as Firefox and much of the low level functioning of the email component is shared with the ThunderBird email program. What makes SeaMonkey shine is the close integration between browser and mail. SeaMonkey is not the combination of FireFox and ThunderBird into one program. SeaMonkey is a number of tweaks to the user interface and a close integration between the browser and mail which creates an internet suite which functions much better for many users than a separate browser and mail programs.

  Cons

  The only negative I am able to think of is that there is no mobile version of SeaMonkey for tablets and phones.

  Summary

  Try SeaMonkey. It may become a favorit for browsing and email. Oh SeaMonkey does not force you to use its email program. If you prefer to use another email program you can set a preference in SeaMonkey so that when you click on an email address in the browser it will call up your email client of choice.

  Pros

  Nice but incomplete interface.

  Cons

  Nice but incomplete interface.

  Summary

  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

  January 19, 2012

  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...

  danakaoDecember 31, 2011

  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

  danakaoDecember 1, 2011

  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

  peripoMay 7, 2011

  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!

  ricklibJanuary 31, 2011

  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
