What's the point?

#8 Croquant on 13 Jul 2007 - 09:33

Is this based off the Seamonkey project, or is this a branch off from the Firefox builds?

#9 Copernic on 13 Jul 2007 - 10:41

@Croquant

FF builds.

Firefox was originally part of the Mozilla Suite ..It was then broken off as a standalone browser, as they did with Thunderbird...all this is afaik

Integrated AIM crap. No thanks!!

No wonder I quit using this thing back in the version 3 days!! I ain't putting ANYTHING that is even REMOTELY connected to AOHELL on my sytems. Especially something with built in update ( I DESPISE that feature in anything).

Edit:
OK, I'm gullible. I'm trying this browser. Doesn't seem to bad. Disabled everything under the hood instantly.
