If I am reading you all right Seamonkey has had it's day.  I am loathe to 
change as it has been my friend for over 20-years.  My biggest thing is the 
email, I am used to it and love it.  It pops right over from Gmail.  Also being 
able to send a link.  Chrome doesn't do that.  
I might as well for now run two browsers.  Sad...

Youtube not a big issue.  It's mostly the sites with ads.  When it freezes in 
the lower left says waiting for so-n-so.  Why doesn't this happen to Chrome?  
The STOP button doesn't work either.  And you can't close the window.  Just the 
damn hourglass...

My Seamonkey freezes on almost every major site.  Yahoo, Washington Post, 
Nextdoor, to name a few.  Google Chrome has no problem with the same sites.

Can this be fixed?  It locks up so bad I have to reboot!

My Seamonkey locks up all the time from ads on major websites.  Only way out is 
to reboot!  It's happening more and more.  On different machines.  Can this be 
fixed or do I need a new browser.  PS Google Chrome has no issues with the same 
sites.
