besides SeaMonkey, and multiple versions of some, not to mention browser
profiles.
Yeah, I am gonna stand with Felix on this one. You may recall that I said
earlier that I use Seamonkey for one webpage, and only one (although its
future seems to be in question at the moment); the reason is that its
settings are well-suited for that particular page. I have practically never
used it for anything else. I never used it for email, though.
Limiting oneself to just one browser is like having only one pair of shoes for
everything; which, depending on the shoes, depending on what one does in
life, might not sound so bad. But what if you had to do everything in a pair
of dress shoes that looked good, but didn't really serve your feet so well
except for those rare fancy dress-up occasions?
This is maybe not the best metaphor, but you get the idea. I don't wear dress
shoes to climb a mountain. I don't wear snowshoes when running to catch a
taxi on a crowded city street. I don't wear my steel-toed hiking boots when I
take a lady out dancing.
