We moved to a new infra and it is not that there is much help with actually 
doing things. 2.53.24b1 was done 3 weeks ago but took too long to release it I 
know. The only frequent thing is complaints that stuff is not working. I am 
doing it mostly these days because my browser for 30 years and works well with 
mail and news plus a few web sites. Seriously all help out or take it or leave 
it. I try bt really don't care about the noise. Linux moving to the api of the 
day without backwards compatibility and going wayland only. macOS now with 
frequent bugs and since 26.4 makes SeaMonkey crash. Windows is actually the 
most stable development platform which is a shame but so it is.

As for security I am feeling safer with SeaMonkey than with Chrome or current 
Fx. Some of the stuff now in "up to date" modern browers like the clipboard 
and file api and the pwa stuff is something which is an invitation for 
hackers... Yeahh all sabndboxed and properly audited with AI now so nothing 
can go wrong...
