The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to develop the SeaMonkey all-in-one internet application suite. Such a software suite was previously made popular by Netscape and Mozilla, and the SeaMonkey project continues to develop and deliver high-quality updates as well as new features and improvements to this concept. Containing an Internet browser, email & newsgroup client, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development tools, SeaMonkey is sure to appeal to advanced users, web developers and corporate users.

SeaMonkey is built on the open source Mozilla Gecko engine, the same code which underlies the highly successful siblings Firefox and Thunderbird, as well as other projects such as Sunbird, Camino, Songbird and Miro. SeaMonkey benefits from the cross-fertilization with these other projects, by gaining (and contributing) new features and the ongoing security updates which are a modern necessity. The Mozilla Foundation provides hosting and legal backing for the SeaMonkey Project.

That is what mozilla and sea monkey has to say. Now lets examine how good the browser is.

The very look of the browser is not appealing. It has a very packed and dull look, almost like the computer running on safe mode. New age users who are already using chrome and firefox 3.0.5 will not go for this update. The browser provides all that is says on the left hand corner of the screen - a chatzilla client, email and news group client etc. But, end of the day style does matter.

Let us wait till the next update..If they present it in a good looking package, sea monkey is likely to become very popular because no other browser offers a HTML editor and chat client as of now.
