Seamonkey Tips and Tricks 🐒

[dogcat]

What can we do with Seamonkey to harden it for today's internet? We can install some Add-ons! We can tweak about:config!
--------------------------------------

Scenario: You upgraded Seamonkey to latest version 2.53.19 and have lost the built-in FatDog-maintained useragentswitcher add-on. What can you do for switching user agents?
You can do this about:config adjustment...

In your browser go to "about:config"

Right click and choose "New" -> "String"

Insert this name
general.useragent.override

For the String Value:
Insert a user agent from this list of the most popular user agents

----------------------------------------

You can install uBlock Origin by opening
1. Tools --> Add-ons Manager
2. Choose "Get Add-ons" in the left side menu
3. Then in the right side "More ways to customize" menu box choose "Browse all add-ons"
4. Then in the left-side menu choose "Privacy and Security"
Then you will see uBlock Origin listed to install.
---------------------------------------

You can install NoScript by going to the NoScript website at
https://noscript.net/getit/#deprecated- ... c-versions

Scroll down to "Browser compatibility and obsolete versions"
You will see a paragraph about "NoScript Classic" with a link to version 5.1.9
Install version 5.1.9

Please add your own Seamonkey tips, tricks and favorite add-ons to this thread.

That's a must when dealing with "official" pages which want an specific browser.
Thanks for your help.

As most of you know, the User Agent Switcher is a tool that lets you modify the user agent string your browser sends to websites. A user agent is a text string that identifies your browser, operating system, and device. Websites use this information to deliver tailored content or block unsupported browsers.

Some websites are designed to work only with modern browsers (like Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) and may not load correctly on older browsers like SeaMonkey. By simulating another browser, you can "trick" the site into granting access and use them without necessity to change your favourite browser. But not only this, I use this when design web sites, to see the way they will be seen depending on the browser the client use.

So it is really useful, thanks for your commnent

------------------------------------------------

My favourite extensions (slimjet) ;

Adblock for Youtube: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detai ... bohmhepckk

Don't close window with last tab: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detai ... mklgdggbhn (In FF, about:config close windows with last tab FALSE)

Instagram Downloader Tool Master: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detai ... pkaenfmkoe (Download or Repost the fastest way)

Go Full Page.- Full page Screen Capture: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detai ... knoalclacl

Twitter video downloader: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detai ... caiigofkoe

LastPass: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detai ... egeplioahd

These extensions are ALWAYS ENABLED, but I have much more in my list, dissabled by default but ready to use when needed (mark and activate, hahah)

------------------- I must include another option, that is not an addon but It is included in slimjet by default and it is what makes me love this browser, GESTURES (I know you can use it using an adon in other browsers -Gestures in FF.... - but it's an adition to slimjet- -- capture

Thanks and have a nice day....

@pp4mnklinux
As you may have noticed, your post is reported as being off-topic.
About half of it is indeed off-topic (slimjet, chrome etc...).
I could have deleted your post as being inappropriate , but Instead, I ask: Can you see why ?

Hi:

Of course it was my fault. I didn't explain correctly my answer, but I thought you could understand it.

Let me try to explain to you why I wrote this post:

I never used SeaMonkey, I think is a very "marginal" (1) browser, so with my comment I intended to highlight that SlimJet Add-ons (which are chrome ones) are useful in some way for SeaMonkey (perhaps through cross-browser compatibility or inspiration), I should provide context to make my response clear and helpful for you.

"While not directly for SeaMonkey, I’ve found these SlimJet Add-ons to be an excellent resource for browsing. If you can find similar tools into SeaMonkey, it could enhance this browser".

This response aligns with RP British standards of clarity and relevance and could be better understood.

Excuse Me, I thought you undestood it.- Sorry and I'll try not to do it ever again and, of course, no problem if you delete my post.

Have a nice day and enjoy your life, cheers.

SeaMonkey has an extremely low market share compared to more popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Its usage is estimated to be less than 0.1% globally, placing it as a niche choice among web browsers. This low percentage reflects its appeal mainly to specific user groups, such as enthusiasts of retro technologies or developers who appreciate its all-in-one approach (integrating a browser, email client, HTML editor, and more.

Sheesh, in addition to being off-topic, you also include a huge screenshot, completely unnecessary, also off-topic! It's also probably not
possible to use chrome/chromium/blink extensions on gecko/goanna/mozilla based programs. If you've never used SeaMonkey, then all
the jabber about SlimJet is just superfluous background noise, of no use to the OP.

Sheesh, in addition to being off-topic, ....

It seems to me that @pp4mnklinux apologized already and said not doing again, so...
EDIT: But must say that writing "I never used SeaMonkey, I think is a very "marginal" (1) browser," should be really a matter of preference.
Suppose someone says in this forum: "I never used Linux, I think is a very "marginal" (1) OS,", then probably we'd all say something like "Go away you !!!"

Excuseme, @dogcat, I am really sorry if, as @Wiz57 decided, my post was no useful for you.

I only hope it could be useful for another user (edited + explained => Since my post does not address the topic that has been discussed and therefore may be useless to the author, I at least hope it will be helpful to some other user. )

Sorry, have a nice day u all (excuse my ignorance).

Edit:

@fredx181 , it could be a professional error but I wrote "marginal"; this way ,in quotation marks, I tried to indicate that I am not going to use this word in the real meaning, but a different one (small,tiny,minute,low,minor...) and NEVER with a negative meaning

Please, as I sait it was my error, let's consider this as finished, PLZ.

Have a nice weekend.- Cheers

To make things useful for another user, make your own thread about it, instead of replying off-topic (ok, sorry, enough about this now, I'd say, back to the subject from the OP)
