Though Youtube is now flashing me
that "We'll stop supporting this browser soon. For the best experience

I set up a user-agent override for YouTube, claiming that SeaMonkey is
Firefox 62. It works. I no longer get the warning banner.
Thanks for reminding me, I was asleep, no coffee for weeks.
Though I had a useragent override for youtube installed via
about:config since my previous laptop, I used/copied the profile from
the old 32bit laptop I decommissioned. I had not updated it for the
X86-64 Acer nor w-Seamonkey 2.49.5. And it did not include the Firefox
entry for compatibility either.
Once updated for the 64bit laptop and 2.49.5, youtube still complained
until I added Firefox/52.0 compatibility. So youtube still works under
the older Firefox/52.0 ; I will keep Firefox/62.0 in mind for future
need though. Thanks.
Still I don't like needing that, I would prefer Seamonkey to be more
respected and accepted. If only it could be loaded as an option in
many repositories/kiosks associated with Linux distributions, like
Firefox and other browsers are. Even if an older version, a user could
find it, install it, update it after installing the distro. Put it in
users face anyway, somehow. The Play Apps Store routine works.
To do all that is work. I know the developers are shorthanded,
overloaded, and I am not in any situation to help that way.
IIRC SeaMonkey was in the Ubuntu repository until Ubuntu 12.04. It was
dropped since nobody stepped up to maintain it for 5 years.
See: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seamonkey/+bug/987713>
See comment 2 for instructions on how to add it from the Ubuntuzilla
repository.
I just download and install the tarball from
