I hadn't known about the Firefox Legacy version so that was a real boost - thanks for the info!
]]>uBlock Origin is compatible with SeaMonkey, Pale Moon, and possibly other browsers based on Firefox: for installation, see Install / Firefox legacy.
Anyone missing extensions in SeaMonkey might want to have a look at the following resources:

Since September 2019 automatic updates are available only "on paper". Why should I download new installer, uninstall previous version and then install new version every three months?
Oops, yup, you're right. I just download the latest tar.gz and copy it over the old one on my HD. I always turned off "auto updates" on any browsers I used... I like to control such activities myself, so I guess it's not an issue with me so I never payed any attention.
Update
I came across this entry on the SeaMonkey developer blog regarding the updates issue.
]]>It does have auto updates, though.
Look here: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/news
Automatic upgrades from previous versions are disabled for this release. If you need to upgrade from an earlier version, please download the full installer from the downloads section and install SeaMonkey 2.53.3 manually over the previous version.

As for AdBlocker I use uBlockOrigin on all my computers. It is not available in SeaMonkey. No good AdBlocker - goodbye Browser! I simply can not stand all those ads. Especially in YouTube.
Also, I had some weird thing. When I started SeaMonkey, I had to wait about ten seconds before I could start typing address in the address field. Installed Chromium - all problems gone! Testing was made in March 2020.
]]>I have used Seamonkey for about 10 days. That was very bad experience. Seamonkey was very slow, some websites opened without images, some did not opened at all or crippled. No adequate Ad blocker. No automatic updates.
It's a bummer that you didn't have a very positive experience with SeaMonkey. It does have auto updates, though. The setting for this feature can be found here:
As for Ad Blocking, I currently use the URLFilter plug-in and it seems to work fairly well. Before the upgrade to 2.53.3, I used to use Pan with SeaMonkey and it worked well.

]]>The last Chromium update "83.0.4103.116-1~deb10u2" seems have fixed the lagging and crashing. The browser performance still doesn't reach the 80 version, but the most striking bugs has been apparently sorted out.
Edit: After a short testing we are still noticing occasional Chromium crashing, however it could be hardware related issue. Any findings are welcome.
In my case it's been quite opposite and I find the new version to be a little bit "snappier" and faster. I've only experienced one crash so far.

no idea what that error means. The other one got lost in "clipboard land".
However, I have noticed that Seamonkey is back in development again. So, I may just update my install and give it another go.
I use seamonky too, mainly to use composer and to be honest, IMO seamonky feels like using IE on XP. Always complaining about some script not functioning ... so annoying. Same thing with palemoon, that's a behaviour both browsers have inherited from firefox, at least that's been my experience. I rather use opera.
]]>Hopefully, Debian developers could find a solution.
]]>Palemoon: snappy, and has some extensions too
Seamonkey used to be my go-to web browser, but at one point it looked as though the project wasn't getting updated regularly. So, I stumbled upon Pale Moon and it's been pretty good. However, I have noticed that Seamonkey is back in development again. So, I may just update my install and give it another go.
