Never heard of SeaMonkey, looks really cool though. I was wondering how usable it is as a daily-driver and how much use of it's other features aside from a web-browser you get? Nice look overall too, retro aesthetics are definitely just superior, GUIs have become too large, padded, and dumbed-down to be useful anymore.
Also, look mum I'm on TV! (One of my posts is in your Unixporn screenshot <3).
I feel like a bit of a fraud... I don't really use it very much. I keep meaning to get back to it, though...
From what I've seen so far, it's pretty good. But some sites kinda break because they need those ✨ magical wonderful modern web tech features ✨ (it's great for browsing the small/indie web though... maybe I should see if a gopher or gemini extension could be made).
The other features are pretty frickin' good. Mail & Newsgroups is very appealing to me as a Firefox/Thunderbird (not just strawberry) enjoyer. Address Book compliments Mail & Newsgroups quite well, I think.
Composer is an HTML editor, which is pretty cool if you have your own website (I need to make a site on neocities...). It also kinda makes sense to put it in the browser? Like, that's where it's gonna be rendered, so it makes testing it easier in some ways.
I also have a few extensions that add more... standalone features? They feel like entire programs on their own, tbh. I think some come preinstalled. Lighting provides Calender, and Lightbird gives it a standalone window UI, which helps make it fit in nicely.
Lastly, there's ChatZilla, which is an IRC client. I haven't delved into IRC yet though. Overall, I quite like the idea of having one big program to handle multiple internet protocols. Maybe I should make a Threadiverse client extension...
