Browser switch
Aug. 18th, 2016 05:52 pmI got fed up with the font rendering in Vivaldi (shame - nice browser, but stuffed by upstream changes to Chromium).
I used to use SeaMonkey a lot, so I tried that again, and found that I could fix most of its annoyances. The addons I needed were:
There are still a few things bothering me:
I used to use SeaMonkey a lot, so I tried that again, and found that I could fix most of its annoyances. The addons I needed were:
- Adblock Plus
- Dorando keyconfig (the only way I could find to add a second key that also opens a tab was: "BrowserOpenTab();")
- Ghostery
- Mouse Gestures Suite
- "Shift+LeftClick opens links in a new active tab" (delightfully named - you need the XUL version for SeaMonkey - it says it won't work, but it does)
- Speed Start
- Tab Clicking Options (had to hack this one to make it work with the latest SeaMonkey, but only to change the compatibility labelling!)
- True Full Screen
- Undo Close Tab Button
- SeaTab-X-2
- British English Dictionary
There are still a few things bothering me:
- Can't put tabs at the bottom
- Single key shortcuts (can't stop pressing 6 to reset the zoom!)
- Side bar pops up whenever I search from the right-click menu Edit: in the side bar, you can switch off the search tab!
- Tab tiling (but I can work round that easily enough)
