SeaMonkey

An excellent alternative to modern browsers, SeaMonkey is an all-in-one internet suite that integrates a chat, email client, and web editor apart from a web browser.

Pros

• Open-source
• Multi-utility browser
• Lightweight
• Standard browser features
• Customization options
• Support for extensions

Cons

• Auto-update not available
• Dated interface
• Slow navigation speed

SeaMonkey is an open-source internet browser with a big community of contributors. This makes it easy to add the features and functionality you may want. It is a lightweight program that does not use a lot of resources and space. Moreover, it comes packed with all the standard features you find in popular browsers like Firefox and Chrome including tabbed browsing, integrated search engine, and pop-up blocker.

You can set this browser to clear history, cache, and cookies every time you close it and even use the private browser setting to hide your history. Each of its components – web editor, chat, and email client – are easily accessible through icons in the toolbar. It also comes with useful customization options to change the font and has a spell checker and download manager. It also synchronizes across devices to give you access to your saved bookmarks and settings.

SeaMonkey provides a traditional email client with support for HTML messages, multiple accounts, address books, junk mail detection, and others. However, the browser has some drawbacks like a dated appearance and time-consuming navigation. Also, it does not update itself automatically and is prone to threats being an open-source project.

Final Verdict

SeaMonkey is a good browser alternative for those who want the freedom to design their own browser. It resembles firefox and integrates an email client, HTML editor, and chat functionality. It is also compatible with third-party extensions, which means you can add some tools to protect the system from malware threats coming from source code. Though it lacks the design and usability modern users may expect, it is overall a nice internet suite from Mozilla for an improved web experience.
