SM 1.1.18 does what I need, and the way I need it done. And I've been
looking over alternatives left and right - Firefox...nogo. Camino,
Stainless, Chrome, and Safari all look like they have common roots.
Almost, but not quite. Camino is based on Gecko, the same as Firefox,
Seamonkey and Flock. All the others you mentioned are Webkit-based, and
therefore will render similarly (except for Javascript, because they use
different engines for that).
Granted. But that's all under the hood...I'm talking strictly as a
user, and to me as a user they all appear very similar.
And understandable because they share common roots, but I also find it
interesting that they just plain look so much alike. I'm going to have
to really dig to find out what one may or may not do that another
doesn't do - generally I start by comparing user Preference panels and
options.
When I can find an option set I like, that's usually the one for me.
Which was what drew me to Netscape, Mozilla Suite, and then Seamonkey in
the first place, has kept me using it, and encouraging others to use it.
I think the biggest difference between me and most of the users I
recommend SM to is that they have no need for a newsreader - I'm
becoming more an more surprised that most of them have never even heard
of usenet - if you can't get there with a URL, they're stumped...and I'm
particularly surprised because a lot of these guys are professional
coder-geeks and PhDs.
But to each their own - I have a ton of hobbies, and I really like
usenet forums for exchanging information in support of my hobbies...so
I'm a SM fan mostly because of that.
