I still have a lot of love for Mozilla, maybe since I've started using... Mozilla and even some of the recent steps of the management did not change that. But it would seem doing something like idk - integrating Fediverse elements into the browser, or pushing the concept further in some other way would be a bigger step forward, than launching an instance. Still good, sounds like a no-brainer to have one for staff/supporters, but does not push this concept as far as Mozilla has the potential to. Unless that's an element of some bigger plan I've missed?
i got a vision of the aim buddy list popping up in my netscape while reading your comment.
do i want seamonkey back? yes. absolutely. how can we get seamonkey back?
I'm pretty sure SeaMonkey is still being updated. Probably won't be replacing anyone's main browser or anything, but it's there.
the chat client is still just irc. thunderbird does xmpp and matrix now. thunderbird also does contacts, calendaring, RSS feeds,and supports opening most links inside thunderbird....
o! thunderbird is the new netscape! how did I miss it??
Yeah, I've always wanted to try SeaMonkey. It seems like such an interesting idea, but it just can't replace Firefox or Thunderbird for me.
I just did and my lemmy instance doesn't work on it, so that was a fast test. Also opening up new windows instead of tabs/bars kinda kills the idea for me. Still a single integrated piece of software to manage all of these funky protocol streams seems like an attractive concept.
