@pictor The main #benefit of an Internet suite like @Vivaldi is #sharing a big rendering engine like #Blink to be used not only by the web #browser, but also the #EmailClient (for reading HTML messages), the #feed aggregator, the #calendar manager, the #notes manager...
A further advantage is that several convenient #features (tab management, notes, translation, shortcuts, customizable interface, themes, quick commands, etc.) can be shared across the different integrated #clients.
Aside from the veteran #SeaMonkey, no one is developing Internet suites anymore—let #Vivaldi fill that gap for the users who need it!

It is really fascinating to me how software categories/archetypes have changed over time, i. e. what 'type' of program is responsible for which function of a computer.
Nowadays it's a given that the following archetypes of programs exist as separate applications:
- Web browser for connecting to the WWW, displaying web content, downloading files (and using a metric ton of web applications of all kinds).
- File browser for navigating directories and doing file operations, as well as volume and storage device management for some reason.
- Mail client for sending and receiving e-mail as well as managing your mail contacts.
- Audio player for playing audio files.
- Separate music organiser for tagging and managing a music library.
- Calendar app for dates, appointments and reminders.
And so on and so forth.
I just keep being positively surprised and delighted when I discover systems, desktop environments and programs that subvert this structure.
Like, #Konqueror being file browser, web browser, FTP client, mail client, feed reader, image viewer and more in one!
Standalone download managers being a thing!
Search utilities for finding directories and files!
Or #KDE's excellent PIM suite (#Kontact) that unifies everything from a phonebook to a mail client to an RSS feed reader to a calendar!So many common programs actually come with extra features from when these program types still used to be different! Like #Thunderbird featuring a full calendar hardly anybody ever uses anymore. Anyone remember #SeaMonkey?!
Most recently – despite having known about it for ages – it dawned on me that shells like #zsh implement mail, calendars, to-do lists, appointments, contacts and much more! Check out
man zshcalsysif you don't believe me!It's so tempting to forgo everything and just live entirely in the console...

Bring Back Netscape
When I was younger, I had an early introduction to the internet thanks to AOL. I found out I could use Netscape instead of AOL Desktop to get on the real internet instead of the KOL (Kids AOL) portal. Netscape didn't stick around much longer after that, so I ended up using Firefox as my main browser and have been since. That said, I have experimented with many many browsers in my life, ranging from Opera and Maxthon to Zen and Floorp. Most recently, I've started trying out Vivaldi and aside […] -

Wollte #Waterfox ausprobieren, doch gelang es mir nicht eine Verbindung zu #KeePassXC herzustellen. Damit konnte ich mit dem Browser nichts anfangen. Zudem hat er für DNS cloudflare kontaktiert, was für mich ein No-Go ist.
Also doch wieder #Vivaldi … der sich umgehend mit heftiger Belastung von RAM und CPU unbeliebt machte.
Wäre auch zu #Seamonkey gewechselt, doch der hat nicht eine #Mastodon Seite geladen. Nutzlos.

@65_percenter How do we as end users (technical or not) make informed choices as to the security of a given browser?
Is Helium more or less secure than unGoogled Chromium.
Is unGoogled Chromium more or less secure than Chromium.
Is Chromium more or less secure than Chrome.
Is LibreWolf more or less secure than Firefox.
How do SeaMonkey, Waterfox and Palemoon compare to what their parent project has become.
All rhetorical I guess.

Some time ago Mozilla decided that tabs had to be on top.
I still know where I want my tabs, and it still disturbs me that the tabs are in the wrong place.
I have just spent a peaceful retro hour or so browsing with Palemoon. Tabs in the right spot and coloured icons to ease the stress on my ageing eyes.
Just like SeaMonkey.
Why do "UX experts" these days have to constantly keep reminding us older folk that we cannot have what we need?

Catch of the Day: The Operating System of the Future That Stayed in the Past! 🐝💻
Hey Retro Fans!
Today, we get to celebrate a very special guest in the FrogFind logs. A user found their way to us using the SeaMonkey browser on BeOS!For those who weren't active in the tech scene in the late 90s: BeOS was the absolute dream of every power user. It was written from scratch by former Apple developers and specifically optimized for multimedia and true multitasking on multiprocessor systems. It was incredibly fast, stable, and featured a beautiful user interface.
In fact, in late 1996, Apple was very close to buying BeOS to use it as the foundation for the new Mac OS. If that deal had gone through, the computer world would look completely different today! (Apple ultimately chose NeXTSTEP instead and brought Steve Jobs back).
The fact that this technical masterpiece still lives on and is maintained in the retro community today (both the original and its open-source successor, Haiku), and that someone is using it to visit the Frog pond, is a huge honor for us.
May multitasking always be with you!

Dear Friends of Browsers,
#EasyOS #Linux comes with degoogled Chrome and Firefox. Not sure how really degoogled they are? Also includes Mozilla #Seamonkey for #HTML editing as well as browsing. I added the latest Firefox and added #PrivacyBadger and #Ublock lite. Also added #Vivaldi
I can also run these in containers (sandboxes)
How many browsers do you need?
None are perfect and we all have familiars. I find small browsers such as Dillo not up to my needs.
Because Vivaldi is European. Decided to make it default. I wonder if I can get on with it this time. Tried it many times. Like its speed but never settled on Vivaldi...
