David,
At the least, SeaMonkey does not protect me from things
from which I definitely do NOT want any protection
In other things it seems to be nannying and worse: as-braindead as FF (52
ESR) is:

I don't need or want safebrowsing, as I'm not comfortable with it.
But even though I disable it, they fully ignore it and call back to the
mothership regardless - for lists I will never use. Why ? :-(
Its comparable to FF 52s NewTab tiles: even when you disable them and set it
to a "blank page", it will *still* visit all the stored URLs to make
screenshots from them (and to add insult to injury: while purposely
disabeling all plugins and by it all kinds of protections the user has
choosen to install with them - I never visit, directly or indirectly,
servers from, for example, doubleclick. But NewTab does).
It also means that SeaMonkey seems to fail at pretty-much the same points
for why I want to ditch FF 52 for something else. In short, not a good
replacement (just exchanging one mothership for another).
