seriously..your competition to firefox is seamonkey?!!
the history you noted..here again:
netscape communicator -> mozilla browser -> seamonkey
when communicator came out is when i stopped liking netscape. that’s exactly when i started playing with IE 3.x and finally jumped on IE 4.x completely. computers were extra slow back then (even with the turbo button enabled), mine couldn’t handle that bulky communicator crap. i don’t want a browser suite. i just want a browser.
and evidently a lot of people feel that way thus mozilla begat firefox.
and to correct your research…seamonkey is not a mozilla project it’s developed by outside volunteers. the relationship between the seamonkey people and the mozilla folks i believe is amicable though. and seamonkey exists because the mozilla foundation (or whatever) completely abandoned the browser suite.
and IE8 sucks.
