That might help, but not the primary issue. Many People are not knowledgeable enough to download nor install Seamonkey, and are lazy anyway. Microsoft or some Linux irrelevant. The Apps play store routine is easier for them. With all due respect for the developers of Seamonkey, and I truly appreciate their work, especially since I have not needed to replace a profile now for 3 years, Seamonkey will not be more widely known of, installed, and used until it is easier for more People to learn of it, locate it in a repository/kiosk, press an install button, and use it. Seamonkey exists not in any Ubuntu, Debian, nor Red Hat/Fedora repository I checked out, nor any other Linux package. I find it at SeamonkeyProject.org, and Sourceforge via Ubuntuzilla: https://sourceforge.net/p/ubuntuzilla/wiki/Main_Page/ Few People can handle the download, install, setup requirements as it is, even if they find it at the SeamonkeyProject, or Sourceforge. Few People can handle the terminal. And they like the Android/Apple play store concept on their fone. Many People are ditching a computer and just use a tablet or large fone for everything. Is Seamonkey available for a fone like Firefox is, or tablet? No. I hate and don't trust that Dvoid junk so I keep Linux and Seamonkey on a laptop. v2.49.5 seems to be working great on an old Acer Aspire 5050 w-AMD Turion 64 I acquired; I loaded it with several Ubuntu packages, and a Fedora Mate, until I settled on Ubuntu Mate 18.04 LTS for the AMD X86_64, so far User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.49.5; Though Youtube is now flashing me that "We'll stop supporting this browser soon. For the best experience please update your browser." I play with the user-agent, no fix yet. Is Seamonkey found someplace that I am not aware of? It should be as readily available as Firefox and others, more so in my mind - being the greater browser it is. I don't like and won't use Firefox for several reasons; though I am playing around with the fork to Pale Moon, it is too limiting for me, but better than Firefox for sure. And I avoid anything Microsoft or Google. I hope nothing from either of those thieving junk shops is found in Seamonkey! There is a good video available to compare 3 main browsers, Seamonkey is one of them; if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRKbz3nQ7mo There seems to be other videos there too, but I have not seen them yet. -- The Best To You & Yours, M.
