SeaMonkey
SeaMonkey is an all-in-one internet application suite developed by Mozilla that combines a web browser, email client, newsgroup reader, HTML editor, and IRC chat client into a single integrated package. It's the spiritual successor to the original Netscape Communicator and Mozilla Application Suite, maintaining the classic interface and comprehensive feature set that power users appreciated. SeaMonkey is popular among users who prefer having all their internet tools in one application rather than using separate programs for browsing, email, and web development. The suite is particularly valued by long-time Mozilla users who want more features and customization options than modern simplified browsers typically offer.

1 suggestionSeaMonkey appears to still be actively maintained with regular security updates, as evidenced by the recent 2.53.23 release. However, based on the available information, the current version does not appear to have native Apple Silicon support and may have compatibility issues with macOS Gatekeeper security requirements. Since SeaMonkey development moves slowly and focuses primarily on security updates rather than major architectural changes, users may want to consider transitioning to separate native applications: Firefox for web browsing (which has full Apple Silicon support) and Thunderbird for email (also Apple Silicon native). While this means losing the integrated suite approach, both applications are from the Mozilla ecosystem and will provide better long-term compatibility and performance on Apple Silicon Macs.
