I love its download manager. Many of the same add-ons that Firefox and Thunderbird use work with SeaMonkey. Mozilla SeaMonkey maintains the awesome application integration that Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird left behind. On my various networked PCs I'm running IE, Outlook, Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey being my fave. Outlook (not to be confused with OE) is pretty darn fancy. Expensive too. <w> -- Cheers, Ben

With Chrome Manager you'll see ALL your add-ons and will be able to enable/disable and remove whatever you want. :) Very good stuff. Mnenhy will also allow you to display and post X-faces. -- Cheers, Ben

OK, found it and installed it--but this page (http://mnenhy.mozdev.org/chroman.html#chrome )describing it sasy, in red ink, "This feature is nothing for the faint-hearted: you may destroy your Mozilla installation if you don't know what you're doing! Please read this page carefully!" Ummm....

You can easily identify what you want to disable and voila, you'll know better if you found the right screw to loosen or not. Go for it. It's excellent. -- Cheers, Ben |
