The
SeaMonkey all-in-one Internet application suite is making steady progress to a 2.1 release, with beta 2 rolling off the presses
yesterday. While they insist that the 2.1 beta 2 update is still 'intended for testers only,' it comes packing a fair few additions to the SeaMonkey armory bringing it more inline with current Firefox implementations. Here's what's changed since 2.1 beta 1:
- The new Data Manager is now invoked instead of the previous separate management windows when needed.
- Sync has been added allowing browsing history, passwords, bookmarks, preferences and tabs to be synchronised between machines just like Firefox.
- DoNotTrack has been added as a Privacy & Security preference.
- Persona support (themes) has been implemented for Address Book, Composer, and MailNews.
- WebGL and D3D have been enabled for where needed and supported.
- Dramatic improvement in start-up speed.
If you're a SeaMonkey user and you haven't tried 2.1 yet, beta 2 certainly adds a few desirable features. So, if you're ready to take the plunge, then head on over to the
SeaMonkey website to get your download on.

My only complaint about a stock SeaMonkey install is that it doesn't have a bit more eye candy like it's Firefox and Thunderbird brethren (relatively speaking). Other than that, it does everything rather capably.

Would be cool is the sync worked cross browser from Seamonkey to Firefox.
