SeaMonkey is in a way less of a Fork than Firefox is.
Today, Firefox is completely different I wouldn't even consider it a fork.
It start a FF 4.
But major changes and tweaks were made in 3 and even 2.
I'm quite glad they completely ditched the Netscape skins. Modern was bad, Classic was native but is very-outdated.
I'm also glad I found Firefox (when ever it was) 2007 or so...

It's still a fork of the Netscape codebase, no matter what has changed in the meantime.

I don't even know what this refers to. What netscape skins?
Bear in mind that the last version of Netscape was effectively version 4; Version 5 was never released before Netscape dissolved and was bought out by AOL. Later versions were based on Mozilla and later on Firefox Itself(8 and later). Mozilla was originally the code to Netscape Communicator 4. (eg Netscape 6 was really just a branded copy of Mozilla 0.6)
That still leaves me confused since... Netscape never had skins.
How is it not as safe? Honestly pretty much any modern browser is safe to use as long as you are smart about the sites you go on and don't click suspicious links.

Firefox. I use IE as a backup. Chrome is completely off the table since I got my new monitor. Unbelievably, it isn't DPI-aware. this means it looks absolutely terrible at non-standard DPI because it get's scaled and blurry and gross. It kinda works for youtube. Firefox almost lost me with this stupid Australis BS. Thankfully I was able to get add-ons to get pretty much the same appearance from before they decided to change it without any market research. Here's something about alternative Browsers. If you use anything other than Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome/Chromium, or Opera, you are Hipster. Plain and simple. They provide nothing. There are Chromium forks that literally only change the default settings (Iron, I think it was called). The only reason people use them is so that when people talk about browsers they can say "Oh, I use FuddleStuck" and the people will go "oh, never heard of it" and then they can respond, by pushing their greasy hair to the side, and saying "Oh, I'm not surprised". It makes them part of an elite club of people who happen to use the same badly maintained fork of another Open Source Browser.
Elite club - Group of people that are better than everyone else.

Ironic is a valid word, and it was used correctly. Either way, though, I'd rather be in a paint huffing contest than arguing vocabulary.
I never said it wasn't a valid word.
Perhaps. Based on the meaning I read from it, it seemed like hypocritical was the word you probably wanted.
Then again, I never called anybody annoying elitists, either, so, yeah...
It wasn't a direct quote, but it was the effect you were giving, alright??
Elite club - Group of people that are better than everyone else.
Elitist - A person who believes that a system or society should be ruled or dominated by an elite.
Just because you think you're elite (or actually are) doesn't mean you're an elitist.

So yeah about that paint huffing
"Has Chromium in his name"
"Uses Firefox"
It's the evolution of greentext!
Oh lawd
I was taking a look at an old Netscape from 2003.
And on the installation menu it asked wether you wanted the classic or modern theme.
