![]() You can see only the currently selected thing (on the left bar) in the main right window. If you do open the history, each history window works differently - Seamonkey has a single window with dropdown tabs, like in Seamonkey's Bookmarks window, while Firefox uses a window with a left sidebar with the day/date/etc choices. Both have "recently closed tabs" and "recently closed windows" menu items, with lists, available from the Go (Seamonkey) or History (Firefox) menus though. With Seamonkey though, you have to open the History window, accessible from the Go menu, to get the history. It's got the options menu (Preferences) in Edit instead of Tools, for instance, as Netscape used to do (Firefox's location comes from IE), and has a few more things in Tools, such as a direct link to the Password and Data Managers, which can be useful in Firefox you have to go into tabs in the Options (Preferences in Seamonkey) window to get to that stuff.Īnother menu difference (and this is just a difference, not a Seamonkey advantage) is that in Firefox, History is an item on the menubar, so you can see recent history there. I'm also used to it more, so I know where to find things. ![]() As a result of this wider bar, the interface does take up a bit more of the screen than Firefox's. Seamonkey has a classic design, so it's got the big Forward, Back, Reload, and Stop buttons to the left of the address bar, for instance. As a result, I like the layout and design of the menus better in Seamonkey. What do I like more about it? Well, for one thing I'm used to its look and interface - Seamonkey uses the classic Netscape-style interface and menu design, while Firefox uses an Internet Explorer-inspired design. It runs on a version of the same Mozilla core, many plugins work on both browsers, etc. So, anyway, Seamonkey is a lot like Firefox at its core. I'm just not one of them, I'm more used to Seamonkey, and I like some of its options too. I'm sure many people will prefer the slicker, more "modern" look of Firefox or especially Chrome. Note that I certainly don't think everyone will like it more of course they won't. Once I started, I thought that it was interesting that there was so much to say, so hopefully it's worth posting. But I was asked recently why I still use Seamonkey, and not Firefox (or Chrome), and I compiled a bunch of interface and design differences between the two browsers that explain why I like it more. There have been changes to both Seamonkey and Firefox in recent years, because of changes from Firefox that Seamonkey has incorporated, but for anyone who knows the browsers, this isn't anything new. Yeah, nothing here (in this post)'s new, really. (I won't be mentioning IE again, but should I even need to say why IE has always been bad? I don't think so.) But I don't use any of those, I use Seamonkey. ![]() Right now, three web browsers are dominant, Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer.
