![]() ![]() PaleMoon forked off of Firefox long ago and like SeaMonkey it still shows only one process in operation. ![]() Otherwise the Third Generation operates and looks just like Firefox. As for the Third Generation there are comments that it supposedly accepts not only Firefox extensions but also those of Chrome and Opera-I have not tried these options so I cannot vouch for them. I have not used the Classic version so I cannot say how well it works but my guess is that it will have more and more issues as time goes on. Waterfox is another Firefox clone that comes in two versions: Waterfox Classic where they have been trying to keep some of the old legacy extensions alive while still using the more modern Firefox technology-they are working off of Firefox ESR v56 and Waterfox Third Generation where they are very similar to the current Firefox and are updated on the current Firefox schedule. (See " ".) It is not updated as often as Firefox but it works just as well with usually no issues. SlimBrowser is a Firefox clone with perhaps a few extra features built in. It does not use the old legacy extensions that many of us became used to, but beyond that it functions quite well and usually does not have any issues. Of the other main 10 that I use there are five gecko-related browsers (Firefox, Slim, and Waterfox in one category and PaleMoon and MyPal in another.)įirefox works well and is updated continually. I use SeaMonkey for most browsing and various special purposes and especially for downloading other programs. I run about 10 browsers on a mostly daily rotation except for weekends. I have found that these multiple processes use up a lot of resources but they still work well on modern machines with adequate memory. By contrast all of the other gecko-based (Firefox-related) and chromium-based (Chrome-related) browsers show multiple processes in operation. I do not understand this 'under the hood' difference but I do know that in my various 'process monitor' programs (similar to the Windows Task Manager), SeaMonkey always shows just one process in operation. On the other hand if you are talking about the browser aspect alone then there are reasonable alternatives but they work a little differently 'under the hood' so to speak. ![]() ![]() If you are talking about a browser that mostly reproduces the entire SeaMonkey suite then you are probably out of luck. ![]()
