Works for me. I do not have Firefox compatibility enabled. Youtube.com
works and there is no warning message about the browser I am using.

studio.youtube.com does not seem to know about SeaMonkey, but works if
you click on the button below.
I am using SeaMonkey 2.53.4 beta 1 pre build by W9Gs.
The issue seems to me is that many web page designers do not know about
SeaMonkey and reject the browser since it is an unknown browser. If the
sniffer would look for the browser engine (i.e. gecko) instead of the
browser's name (i.e. SeaMonkey) we would run into fewer compatibility
issues.
WHY?
Will SeaMonkey fans ('SM lovers' didn't sound right) really have to
use a different User-Agent for each and every web sight?

Probably more than users of the current Firefox version would.
However, I had no trouble logging into my Google account, clicking the
"Skip to Studio" button on the unsupported browser page and creating a
studio dashboard.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
SeaMonkey/2.53.2 with no extensions.
