It is AOL EDIT: woops nope it is Yahoo now XD

it's Apollo group. a corporate raider from the 80s who now owns aol's and yahoo's empty shells.

I used to work for a company owned by Apollo - if its the one i'm thinking of...and if so then "corporate raider from the 80s" is putting things mildly. Those guys really were the type to squeeze every ounce of value of any org without remorse for the future or without thinking of the long-term value that an org could produce.

It seems like a lot of Firefox addons are not longer compatible with Seamonkey after Firefox changed their addon functionality and Seamonkey is still using a old Firefox version. The old addon system was more powerful so I guess they kept it also for backwards compatibility of existing addons. But now the new addons won’t work and the old ones are old and probably not longer maintained. Usually all email clients have…

Or those could be precisely the reasons that would kill it for good. Putting AI tech in every product is not a good idea, just riding the hypetrain.

Isn’t the hype over yet and established technology now?

Having an assistant in an all-in-one suit is factually better than most single use AI products.

Reading and answering the chat and emails, coding, browsing, scraping, botting… actually a good platform to pretending being a human.

I love SeaMonkey, but I do wish it could handle more modern sites, maybe with Goanna?

I have been using Seamonkey since when it was called Netscape, but there are so many sites that do not work with it that I been forced to switch to Firefox. I still use Seamonkey for my mail though, I prefer it to Thunderbird.

What are the main differences between Thunderbird and SeaMonkey’s e-mail client?

It's not even necessary for compression -- gzip is decent and transparent .

It's not done for compression, it's about tree-shaking and bundling dependencies.

And failing in weird abd obscure ways if your browser is slightly outside the mainstream.

Like if it's SeaMonkey.

I currently work for a company owned by Apollo, and nothing about Apollo has changed.

I highly doubt that that has anything to do with minification/tree shaking. My guess would be JavaScript feature and API support.

It’s a great way to get readers and consumers to become writers and creators

Except now it’s not, really. Squarespace, blogs, even Twitter is a far better set of tools that are much easier, handle hosting and distribution etc.

I didn’t say it was the best. It’s easily accessible, people can learn the ins and outs of html directly.

Hosting on a baked in service will be easier, this tool is meant to be used for other purposes.
