SeaMonkey Review

SeaMonkey is more than free web browser; it is Internet Suite that comes with web browser, advanced e-mail, newsgroup and feed client, IRC chat, and HTML editor. SeaMonkey was developed under the SeaMonkey Project. The software lets user browse the internet, use email, participate in newsgroup, view feed, chat through IRC, and add/edit web pages with its HTML editor.

SeaMonkey is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. User can download the software for free from this internet suite website.

SeaMonkey has five main tools: Browser, Mail & Newsgroups, Composer, IRC Chat (“ChatZilla”) and Web Development Tools.

Browser Highlight Features:

• Tabbed Browsing – Gives user a better way to surf the net.
• Undo Closed Tab or Window – Helps user bring closed tab back to continue working with it.
• Add-ons Management – Provides almost infinite possibilities to extend user’s Internet experience both through installing additional functionality created by others and even freely developing their own extensions.
• Feed Detection – Notifies user when web pages offer RSS or Atom feeds, and feed preview lets user view their contents.
• Smart Location Bar – Enables user to search their visited web pages right when typing in the browser’s location bar and finding what they want to re-visited as fast as possible by learning which pages they visit frequently.
