Why We Love #Firefox, and Why We Hate It http://is.gd/Twat85
-
@thistleweb I may gripe about Firefox, but chrome is no option since I'm a #freesoftware gal
-
@laurelrusswurm there's always chromium, I use that for regular browsing, but design, blog posting etc is firefox
-
@laurelrusswurm how about giving !Seamonkey a try?
-
@thistleweb I tried to find chromium in the !Trisquel repository once ... isn't it still Googlish?
-
@kevie Seamonkey is a browser? (lovely name :)
-
@laurelrusswurm it's an internet suite. it's the continuation of mozilla and netscape :)
-
@tekk so chat, mail, browsing, page composition
-
@laurelrusswurm it might be listed as chromium-browser
-
@laurelrusswurm it's the base browser Google add their tweaks to, to turn it into Chrome, it's kinda Chrome - Google
-
@tekk I thought that was Firefox
-
@laurelrusswurm depending on how old the repo version is, if it's too old, some chrome addons won't work, but mostly its all compatible
-
@laurelrusswurm yes, a no frills browser that has a permanent place in any distro I run :)
-
@kevie hmmm... does Seamonkey get hysterical if you try to view a website you trust that has a self-signed security certificate?
-
@thistleweb I'm doing my best to limit my googlism ... it already knows far too much about me, and you and everybody
-
@laurelrusswurm not at all in my experience
-
@laurelrusswurm you say that like it's a bad thing ;)
-
@kevie @laurelrusswurm I just started using iceape/seamonkey yesterday. I’m liking it. and no it doesn’t freak out at my self-signed certs.
-
@thistleweb You know what, I do believe that *is* a bad thing. Frankly, I trust my friend's webpage far more than I will ever trust payPal's
-
@thistleweb Saying one time that the web page is has a self-signed certificate would be a good thing, a series of them is intimidating . . .
-
@thistleweb and I don't want to end up with an Internet entirely controlled by large corporate entities that can buy security certificates

@thistleweb As weird as it may sound: I am locked into Firefox. It has all my passwords and bookmarks in Firefox sync.

@kevie yikes... searching for "seamonkey browser" in the Ubuntu repository gets me "Adobe Flash Plug-In" ???
-
@sounds great, but doesn't appear in Ubuntu centre as iceape either... will try synaptic package manager
-
@laurelrusswurm download it directly from the Seamonkey site http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
