But if it didn't get 'killed' we wouldn't have Firefox, or Seamonkey as
both were started from the Netscape source code that was opened up, and
given to the public to prevent That Hiddeous IE from becoming the *only*
browser.  Basically Netscape saved the Internet from becoming a horrid
mess by giving its code to the community.
Can you imagine an IE only world... bleh....
I guess there would still be Safari and Chrome, and all the other WebKit
browsers.  Now, does anyone remember if KDE started WebKit?  It seems to
me they did, but it may have been Apple... hmmm... I think it was
KWebKit at first... could be wrong though...

Unfortunately I think Seamonkey is GTK (is this correct?), not Qt, so in
the future you may need to look for a Qt browser, though no browser has
the WYSIWYG editor/E-mail/Browser function.  Seamonkey is pretty sweet. 
Puppy Linux uses it as the default browser, so it must be pretty fast
and light.

I wonder if Lubuntu is going to merge forces with Ubuntu and use some of
the Ubuntu Touch apps (once they are mature enough), such as the Ubuntu
Web browser.
