As I've said before, Seamonkey is my sentimental favorite, and it's cross-platforming seems unrivaled. I might call it best all around, or something like that. However, when it comes to a particular distro and a particular browser being integrated with each other, I am still amazed at the power and stability of the Debian-Iceweasel combination. It's so solid that I mostly use Seamonkey on my Mac, of all places. Someday, when Mozilla and Debian get their issues hammered out, (somewhere over the rainbow), I'll be very happy. In the meantime, under Debian, Iceweasel is a star performer.
Two problems with Iceweasel for me now: 1. Iceweasel only seems to be called Iceweasel when connected to Debian. 2. If one wants Iceweasel by itself, one is directed to sites where it's called Icecat.
I object because I thought the "weasel" was fun and cutting edge. And I liked the more vicious-looking weasel (which Debian is cool enough to employ). Sadly, to make the "weasel" more palatable to fuzzy, worldly, folks, they toned down the icon and made it warm and huggable, but also accidentally more obscene (you'll have to see it for yourself). Plus, there is now no independent-looking Iceweasel site anyway. Now they've gone on, after the "icon catastrophe," to change it to an "Icecat." This new "cat" logo is not cutting edge, not warm and fuzzy, and also not even accidentally obscene. It's sort of nowhere. Finally, not even Icecat has a solidly-independent real website, only a fraction of a page on a fraction of someone else's website (okay, I'm exaggerating). But still, I want to see a page that looks dedicated to Ice-weasel-cat with it's own really separate domain. A bunch of new domains have been made available, like .LA .UK and so on. So that surely a solid
www.icecat.XX, (fill in the variable) should be available, and they should have a domain that way so they can promote and attract people more easily.
Plus, they should go back to their old cutting-edge mission-image and just bring back the mean, old, ferocious weasel image. (There's nothing wrong with a little "punk rock" in computing.)
