Hi, i saw this report from the user Zin about pale moon and firefox/chrome based browsers and i'm curious to know why this happens:

I can say he's not wrong and sure it's a serious thing to have data downloaded without our knowledge and consent, what and why this is downloaded? I advice you to make several tests with small and big size's sites to see the problem, also, you need a tool to see how much data is downloaded, i did the tests on trusted websites and yes, extra data is downloaded and got nothing to do with ads, viruses, plugins, auto-update feature, start-up page, extensions (i didnt have any of those things here) and i can also confirm that IE or the Opera 12 he mentions doesnt download this data.
About the improvement, bigger and better looking tabs like the ones of australis surely would be nicer than the ones in k-meleon now.
That's all, thank you for you work with seamonkey and your attention.
