3. I've used sea monkey but downloaded and use Brave by the same creator.

I think mozilla stopped supporting Sea Monkey.

Brave is my favorite, followed by Firefox and then Chrome. I avoid Safari because it seems slow.

12. Here's a good recommendation, by Firefox, of Brave.

I'm mistaken, Mozilla the creator of Netscape and Firefox didn't create Brave, but Firefox gives Brave high marks for fast loading.

In the end I have to use several browsers, Google Chrome is best and sometimes required of certain pages.

Brave is fast and stable.

I also have macs, including a 2013 powerbook and air, brave runs fine on all of them.

6. What version of the Mac OS are you running?

Chrome is my go-to on any platform. I'm an extensive GSuites/Google Workplace user. Updates of the OS is key. An update can either be required of or break your application software.

8. Cool. Another thing you can try is to create a new browser profile if possible.

I don't know Sea Monkey, but maybe export your bookmarks to an html file if you can, create a new profile (Me 2), and import your bookmarks to that profile.

Or uninstall and reinstall Sea Monkey after you have saved your bookmarks.

11. Copy away. You can do a search of creating a new profile for sea monkey for details.

Look for hits that are current and close to your situation. Many tech user forums are helpful. You just have to have the patience to weed through them to see if there is a consensus on solutions, from common to obscure.
