Big Sur won't open SeaMonkey--alternative WYSIWYG Web page editor for the barely amateur? I have long used SeaMonkey to create my totally plain web pages for my web site--mostly recipes, primarily text and sometimes a few photos. Big Sur is refusing to open it because 'developer cannot be verified' or something like that. I like the WYSIWYG because it's almost as easy as MS Word. Can anyone suggest a better option that will keep Big Sur happy, and let me do very simple web page edits?

TextEdit changes filename extension on Save I use TextEdit to maintain a document with a list of favorite websites with URLs. The file has an extension of ".html" and opens in the default browser. The links therein are clickable like any other HTML document. Recently, the behavior of Save has changed. After editing the file in TextEdit and saving it, the filename extension was changed to "rtf" and it, of course, would not open in the browser. I've never changed any of the TextEdit Settings for "Open and Save" to do this. It's worked fine as I’ve described it. (I don't even know what the items under "HTML Saving Options" mean.) I've seen the "Work with HTML documents in TextEdit on Mac" in the TextEdit User Guide and tried the "Always open HTML files in code-editing mode" option, but I don’t even understand the resulting torrent of characters on the page. The fix I use as of now is to Duplicate the file and when saving the dupe, change the "File Format"option from "Rich Text Document" to "Web Page (html)." Any suggestion to stop TextEdit from altering an HTML filename extension? (I'm not a "developer" so please dumb it WAY down - thanks!)

Hi,

Since nobody has replied to this in 6 days I'll say I don't know if there's a "good" one but I use the editor that's part of SeaMonkey for some basic web page layout.
