Just one question, the mouse middle click does not close a tab, how can I change this behaviour?

Don't know how i forgot to mention this extension. Install tab_clicking_options.xpi. You can configure it from there.

Early this morning I put the 64 bit linux SeaLion browser on one of my two desktop tower computers. This desktop tower computer has two SSD's in it and both hard drives in this tower run 64 bit linux Mint 21.2 (Victoria) Xfce.

I wanted to do a test to see if YouTube videos will obey the power settings in Mint when running SeaLion. I wanted the monitor and tower computer to go to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. Pale Moon will do this when running YouTube videos. I have some "sleep" videos to help me go to sleep when I get over tired when staying awake for 30 hours (or more).

The 64 bit linux Waterfox, Mercury and Firefox browsers will not adhere to the power settings. The videos keep playing and will not let the 32" external monitor go dark and it won't put the tower computer to sleep either.

So I picked this video below, got away from the computer and waited for the 30 minute time mark. And the SeaLion browser, while playing the video below, adhered to the Mint power settings for putting the monitor to sleep and putting the desktop tower computer to sleep as well.

I am going to keep and use the SeaLion browser and I will also add the linux SeaLion browser to my signature. And of course, I am using the SeaLion browser to type this post with.

Thanks for creating the 64 bit linux SeaLion browser.

Interesting. I'm guessing it's more to do with UXP than anything else. Although it could be some default pref left behind from SeaMonkey, or the combination of the two. Glad people find it useful. I initially was going to make it Mac only, but since i have, and use, x86 Linux along with some old PowerPC Macs that run Linux i figured i'd build for all 3. My build machine is a 2010 Mac Pro that's 12 cores with 64gb ram and 4 ssd's. I can whip out builds for Mac and x86 Linux in 9 - 11 minutes flat. The PowerPC builds take quite a bit longer (2.5 - 3 hours) on a dual 2.3ghz PowerMac G5 with 10gb ram.

I gutted an old desktop tower computer and kept the case. Put in a new motherboard which you will see below. The motherboard has four memory slots and the motherboard can access up to 128 GB of memory. I have a 32 GB memory stick in the one of the four memory slots. I also put in a 12th generation Intel i7 processor that run with a processor speed of (3.60). New heat sink, kept the same AMD graphics card and put in an 800 watt power supply. It also came with a three hard drive bay. You can see the rest of this desktop's specs below. Again, thank you.

Thanks for including Sealion in your builds for Linux. I have been playing with it for a while now, and I think I discovered a bug?

The Ctrl+Shift+Del keyboard shortcut isn't working. Even if I click on "history -> clear private data" nothing happens?

I am on Debian 12, using the extracted tarball of the latest build 32.3.1

[wicknix]

@ Night Wing That's a pretty nice machine.

@ fatboy Indeed, the keyboard shortcut doesn't seem to work. Good catch. However, i tested on both Mac and Linux and "history -> clear private data" seems to work fine. I'll look in to the hot key issue though. Thanks for the report.

Edit: You could also try preferences -> private data

[fatboy]

Edit: You could also try preferences -> private data

I tried going the "preferences -> private data" route, when I click on the "clear now" button I also don't get a popup. I am using the default theme. Not sure why I am having this issue? Even in safe mode I am having the same issue.

EDIT: I am using the i3 Window Manager, that might be an issue, since there are no window borders? I might try sealion on my mxlinux XFCE machine later.

Another issue: Alt+# doesn't work to switch tabs

[wicknix]

I don't think the lack of keyboard shortcuts are actual 'issues'. Remember, this isn't pure SeaMonkey. It's old Borealis code that stripped SM down to the core. New features where added, like the prefs pane and extra options in it, and some other stuff was completely removed. I'll look in to it though and see if can add that back in.

Cheers

Aaah, I see, thanks. I didn't know that, so just ignore that comment hehe

[wicknix]

@ fatboy I modified and added a bunch more extensions to the sealion-extras.zip. One in particular you probably want. Grab dorando_keyconfig. It will let you modify or create keybindings.

Cheers

Oh awesome! That is amazing! Thank You! I will definitely download it and have a look!
If you are keen, another great extension that needs some love is pentadactyl, which also allows one to create keybindings

[fatboy]

Don't know how i forgot to mention this extension. Install tab_clicking_options.xpi. You can configure it from there.

Oh amazing! I totally overlooked this addon haha. Thank You!

EDIT: That addon definitely adds a lot of functionality to the browser. My only challenge now is to figure out the key codes so that I can create new bindings. The keycodes are really long and am unsure where find them on the web, because the ones I do see on the web aren't as long?

Looks like Google is trying to "force" people to quit using their adblockers and see Google's ads when watching YouTube videos.

As an example, when I went to watch a YT surfing video using SeaLion, before the video would play, I was presented with two ads which had nothing to do with surfing. One was an ad for a "nasal spray". The other ad I paid no attention to. So I started to look for a solution and found one. And it does not involve installing an extension.

If someone is using uBlock Origin which I do, there is a work around to disable these obnoxious ads which are "totally irrelevant" to what you are viewing on YouTube.

Click on the link below for the details. I tried this work around on YouTube and it is working for me now when using SeaLion (until Google figures out a way to kill the work around).

[fatboy]

I figured out why I wasn't getting that popup menu when I hit Ctrl+Shift+Del. I had something disabled in settings:

Under "Privacy -> Private Data -> Ask me before clearing data" was unchecked. It should be checked

On another note, loving the latest update you released. The browser is running beautifully! Very snappy! Thank You!

[wicknix]

@ Night Wing: Thanks for the YT info. Will give it a spin.

@ fatboy: Awesome. Simple fix.

....and yeah, i had uploaded new builds this weekend, just forgot to post here. Oops.

How can I get these addons to work on Sealion?
1) https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/readerview/
2) https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/swarth/ or https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/se ... seamonkey/

Thanks,
And sorry for the constant posting.

[wicknix]

ReaderView doesn't seem to work, but nicereader does. I also edited swarth, and it works. Both are now included in the sealion-extras.zip. Just download that archive again for the updates.
