Firefox is turning into with that new Australis interface.
SeaMonkey developers, you are doing an amazing job. I think the
interface is excellent, logical and *just works*, especially for
desktop.
Please don't feel any need to ruin it in the same way that Firefox has
been ruined with the dumbed-down Chrome wannabe interface!
If you feel the same, please show your support for SeaMonkey devs. :)
Really have to interject that i do NOT want Seamonkey to "remain the
same" if that means the browser becomes more and more unusable over
time... as things stand now, i only use Seamonkey's e'mail client with
regularity. The browser is just too slow for modern needs... throws up
too many irrelevant warnings and annoys me when it won't open sites or
play sound, or other silly nonsense...
i DO want it to remain the same as a combined e'mail & browser, but only
if the browser component quits moving like its full of frozen
molasses...
If you don't like the nags, most of them can be turned off. I don't have
the problems you mention, so if you can be more specific, we can
probably solve them here.
my issues are mostly with speed... my cable internet is 50 mbps up and
20 down... so this browser should fly... instead it sits and spins when
loading pages... which my install of chromium opens quickly...
installed the 64 bit linux version of SM if that makes any difference...
no nags today, so no real worries...
Surely you've got that backwards: Shouldn't it be 50 M down and 20 up?
And, please cite specific sites where your issue happens. No matter
what your ISP speeds, servers/specific sites throttle bandwidth. You
can do a speedtest.net test and see your ISP throughput but, in real
world usage, you'll never see those speeds.
I have 30 Mbps down from Comcast and it tests that way. Never see more
than about 3 Mbps in real-world usage other than my FTP link on my own
Web server. That sometimes does 10 Mbps.
Frankly, whenever I read an article about Web speed in the U.S. and the
world I wonder about this. Everyone's all het up about giving everyone
super high-speed links. So what? If Web servers will only deliver a
throttled 3 Mbps? What's the point?
I can afford the extra speed I'm paying for but am considering
downgrading. Why pay for speed no one will let me use? My car will go
130 MPH but there's no road in the U.S. that will let me drive that fast.
