Newbie To Seamonkey (Linux)

[DanRaisch]

First off - this can not be found in repositories...
Is there a URL or PPA that can be used... I suppose not.
Looks like more & more are leaving the repositories & you have to download & manual install or run an installer.

I've read that SeaMonkey can HTML edit.
I had an old WinXP WYSIWYG HTML Editor that was great for my simple local pages and some Java Script too.
But since moving to Linux I find little in the way of WYSIWYG.

And don't get me started on the convoluted CSS/HTM editing that has to be done to configure the X/GTK+ Desktop Environment...

I have been looking for alternatives to the MESSED-UP FireFox Quantum update & Chromium Chrome Clone.

Here's hoping that SeaMonkey works... well, until THEY decide to change HTML again...

Actually, Pale Moon is pretty good too, if you need only a browser.

SeaMonkey can be found in the Ubuntuzilla repository.

I just download the contributed build from https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/#2.49.2 and extract it into a folder.

I just cut and paste the tarball from Downloads to my ~/Apps folder, then right click on the file and use Extract Here.
