   I read yesterday that #Thunderbird is being completely re-written from scratch primarily to reduce bloat caused by so much unneeded #Firefox overhead. How do you think this will affect #Seamonkey? It’s the #FreeSoftware #community project primarily made up of components from #thurnderbird. It’s continued on the original #Mozilla #Project which itself was a continuation of the first Free Software I ever used #netscape #communicator. To this day the SM #Suite is my preferred way to access the www, irc & email from a desktop machine.

      @ミ★ Confederate Space Force ★彡 one of the things i really dislike about the web these days is how many websites will through an error automatically saying "we only work with chrome [and sometimes Firefox] instead of just letting me try it anyway and make the decision myself whether Seamonkey works. On my old PC I had a screen shot saved of an old error message from Facebook saying "we are sorry but we aren't cool enough to support your browser" (that was on elinks, or it may been one of the other terminal based text only browsers for GNU/Linux).

      I'm fine with the warning it it gave me an option to "try anyway" or something similar.
