Believe it or not, the free and open-source SeaMonkey Internet suite produced by Mozilla and consisting of a web browser, e-mail and chat client received its second big update for 2016, versioned 2.46.

SeaMonkey 2.46 is here more than nine months after the 2.40 release and is a major milestone that has been built on the same Mozilla platform as the Firefox 49.0 web browser. It brings lots of improvements and support for the latest Web technologies, including HTML5, JavaScript, as well as better hardware acceleration. The biggest change is support for HTML5 full-screen video playback on YouTube and similar sites.

"The SeaMonkey project is proud to present SeaMonkey 2.46. The new major release of the all-in-one Internet suite is available for download now! Building on the same Mozilla platform as Firefox 49, it delivers those same developments in web technologies such as HTML5, hardware acceleration, and improved JavaScript speed," reads the announcement.

SeaMonkey is now available in 26 languages, but it's no longer bundled with the Chatzilla chat extension, nor Lightning calendar add-on, which you'll be able to add at any time you want from Mozilla's Add-on Repository. It would appear that SeaMonkey 2.46 also ships without the DOM Inspector. You can download SeaMoneky 2.46 for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows operating systems right now from our website.
