Where on that page do you see advertisements?  I do not see any.

Note, however, I do not subscribe to any filter sources.  Instead, I
manually create my own filters.

If I use Firefox with "Adblocker Ultimate" I don't see any ads but with

Not here either, on either linked page.

SM 2.40, Win7 Pro SP1, ABP 2.7.3.

Check your ABP version and filter subscriptions?

You can try running the Adblock Ultime XPI through
http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com and it should convert it to a
Seamonkey compatible plugin.

No, the converter MIGHT convert it to be compatible with SeaMonkey.  If
you look at ,
however, you will see a number of Firefox extensions that cannot be
successfully converted.

When I first viewed that page, I indeed saw some advertisements.  They
were all from revcontent.com, so I updated my AdBlock Plus filters
accordingly.  After terminating and relaunching SeaMonkey, those
advertisements no longer appeared.

Almost all the adblockers use the same kind of subscription filter
lists.  If Adblocker Ultimate will show you which list(s) it's
subscribed to by default, you can probably subscribe to them with
AdBlock Plus as well.

Probably the EasyList. You can see what you have by doing Ctrl-Shift-E.

Same for OP -- he can see his subscriptions, if any. An easy way to see 
lots of ads would be to have no subscriptions, 'cause then you have to 
build all your filters by hand.

Original Poster Here although my address may be different from before 
because I reinstalled newsgroup.


Firstly with Adblock Plus I have the following lists selected 
"Easylist", "Malware Domains" and "Fanboys Social Blocking List". The 
Adblock Plus button appears on the same line as the home button,which 
other browsers would probably call the bookmark bar.


Tonight I updated a programme called "Sumo" , very good programme etc. 
Pressed the icon to be taken to http://kcsoftwares.com/ to download and 
was greeted with an ad saying you may wish to check your 
computer/registry for errors, (this is a sponsor I think at KCsoftwares) 
this ad disappeared after a few seconds. Ads are not showing so 
frequently on sites. If I uninstalled Seamonkey and reinstalled would it 
keep my preferences ?


Would this be my only solution ?

Michael, if you did a pretty standard installation of SeaMonkey, the 
Program is in one location and the Profile is in another.


When you uninstall SM, it should just remove the Program, and then, when 
you re-install it, it will "find" the Profile.


Hmm, but nor that I re-read your post, you are asking about Preferences, 
which, logically is part of your Profile, so should be safe!!


However  always worth doing a Back-Up  you know, just in case!!

My installation of the SeaMonkey executable is on a hard drive different
from its profiles.  However, you must note that sometimes the problem is
not with the SeaMonkey executable but with a corrupted profile.  Thus,
before trying to re-install SeaMonkey, try creating a new profile and
then see if the problem exists in the new profile.

Thanks for your reply, in the end I decided enough is enough and 
installed Opera which not only has its own built in adblocker also 
accepts the extension "Adblocker Ultimate" (English List Filter). 
Obviously I am only using one extension at a time. On my other machines 
I use Firefox as the default browser but on this machine I use Firefox 
solely for "adult" sites and used Seamonkey as the main browser but 
having  now removed Seamonkey  on this machine its Opera for my main 
browsing now.

Michael, if you did a pretty standard installation of SeaMonkey, the
Program is in one location and the Profile is in another.

When you uninstall SM, it should just remove the Program, and then, when
you re-install it, it will "find" the Profile.

Hmm, but nor that I re-read your post, you are asking about Preferences,
which, logically is part of your Profile, so should be safe!!

However  always worth doing a Back-Up  you know, just in case!!



My installation of the SeaMonkey executable is on a hard drive different
from its profiles.  However, you must note that sometimes the problem is
not with the SeaMonkey executable but with a corrupted profile.  Thus,
before trying to re-install SeaMonkey, try creating a new profile and
then see if the problem exists in the new profile.

Didn't know that, makes me slightly worried about privacy. However 
saying that I have some freeware on my system from Chinese companies and 
are in my opinion the best available freeware or otherwise. Aomei 
Backupper, Aomei Partition Assistant also an audio conversion program 
from another chinese company "sothinkmedia" and a programme no longer 
available I think from them to make a DVD . All these programs are very 
efficient in what they do and are free. I also use free antivirus from a 
Czech company, again a very efficient program. If Opera can still keep a 
base in Norway and have some control in its direction  I think it will 
be OK.

 My installation of the SeaMonkey executable is on a hard drive
 different
 from its profiles.  However, you must note that sometimes the problem
 is
 not with the SeaMonkey executable but with a corrupted profile.  Thus,
 before trying to re-install SeaMonkey, try creating a new profile and
 then see if the problem exists in the new profile.

I don't care all that much that it's Chinese companies but I do wonder
how they're going to get back their $600 million + profit.  If Opera
was making all that much money off their browser why'd they sell it?

They sold the browser, so I'd guess no control, involvement,
direction, or anything:
https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/18/opera-renegotiates-its-1-2b-sale-down-to-600m-for-browser-privacy-apps-chinese-jv/
  Opera will sell the Qihoo 360-led consortium its mobile and desktop
browser operations, its performance and privacy apps, its tech
licensing not including Opera TV; and Opera’s 29 percent stake in
Chinese JV nHorizon.

  Opera’s remaining business that is not part of the sale will include
Opera Mediaworks, Opera Apps & Games (including Bemobi) and Opera TV,
along with about 560 employees.

Michael, if you did a pretty standard installation of SeaMonkey, the
Program is in one location and the Profile is in another.

When you uninstall SM, it should just remove the Program, and then,
when
you re-install it, it will "find" the Profile.

Hmm, but nor that I re-read your post, you are asking about
Preferences,
which, logically is part of your Profile, so should be safe!!

However  always worth doing a Back-Up  you know, just in
case!!



My installation of the SeaMonkey executable is on a hard drive
different
from its profiles.  However, you must note that sometimes the problem
is
not with the SeaMonkey executable but with a corrupted profile.  Thus,
before trying to re-install SeaMonkey, try creating a new profile and
then see if the problem exists in the new profile.

Looked at Vivaldi,looks too complicated for me and a reliance on tabs. I 
try to avoid using tabs at all costs.Might download it sometime to see 
it in action, which browsers  flash player does it use ? In the 
meanwhile I'll stick with Opera. If serious privacy issues occur or the 
browser changes markedly I'll bite the bullet and reluctantly go with 
Google Chrome. It would only be with this computer, because my others 
use Firefox as the default browser.
