I thought I'd take a break from my rants and spread the word about an open source web software that I truly enjoy using over any of the others.
Seamonkey Internet Suite
It's a web browser, email client with integrated address book, composer, and even has a chat program if you like that kind of thing. the mail client is also my newsreader software of choice. Google.com is my home page for all my browser and I use their reader also. I would like to move the feeds from there to Seamonkey and get away from using Google reader. But that's another project for another time.
Now it took a little bit of time to set it up to my liking, but I have it done. There are different add-ons available. It's from the same people who brought you Firefox. Some of Firefox add-ons work with Seamonkey quite well, while others aren't compatible at all. But with enough patience there are alternatives to be found. Such as add this I use the bookmarklet which is an share icon in my bookmarks toolbar. Stumbleupon has a it's own toolbar which I have also installed for when I decide to glance around at random sites.
I have been using this for 7-8 years now, it's not exclusive I do have Firefox, Chromium, and a few other open source browsers.
My family uses open source software on all our computers.
