I was reading this Firefox article
http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/firefox-7/ "Firefox 7 Is Here: Will It
Stop Hogging Memory & Let You Browse Faster? [REVIEW]" Please read
some of the comments below the article.
This article made me wonder how many of the issues/problems discussed
with Firefox are also problems found in SeaMonkey?
Questions:
1. What are your experiences with SeaMonkey compared to other browsers
such as Chrome, Opera, or other modern browser?
Don't use Chrome or Opera. Firefox is my browser. SeaMonkey is my
newsgroup and RSS Feed reader. As far as I know Chrome can't do that,
Opera has mail, not sure about newsgroups or RSS Feeds.
2. In your experience is SeaMonkey a memory hog? is is slow (i.e. slow
to open webpages)?
In my experience. No.SeaMonkey is currently using 116.11 MB of memory..
3. Is SeaMonkey improving or getting worse with each version?
Depends on your point of view. I would say improving, since it handles
new web features that previous versions didn't.
Topic for discussion:
Apple set a goal for Mac OS X Leopard (v 10.5) that this release would
not focus on adding new features to the operating system but would
focus on stability. The result was that when Leopard was released it
was one of the better OS releases, since it was very stable. Should
the SeaMonkey (Firefox?) developers follow Apple's lead and take a
pause in the development of the application and focus for a couple of
releases only on stability issues (and security issues) rather than
developing new features?
I think it is time to pause the development of SeaMonkey and focus the
next few releases on stabilizing the application.
What needs stabilized?
Do you need some support, or just didn't see the mozilla.general newsgroup?
