    Thanks @masinick and @greyowl,

    I did some research and experimented this morning with SlimJet. It does support NoScript and a lot of other Chrome extensions. But it does not run on 32-bit computers that do not have SSE2, such as P-III and AMD Athlon. So, just like Vivaldi, SlimJet does not work on my P-III’s. but it does work on my P4’s.

    I don’t think SeaMonkey has “pinning” of tabs. But I don’t know for sure as I’ve never used that feature in a browser. I think SeaMonkey is old school so it probably does not support a lot of newer features that people expect in a browser.

    There are very few browsers that run anymore on non-SSE2. 32-bit is still pretty well supported but if the processor does not have SSE2 it is difficult, or impossible, to use a modern browser. So far SeaMonkey 2.49.4 has proven to be the best option. But that is now also “old version”, SeaMonkey now at 2.53.3. PaleMoon-nonsse2 27.9.4 is also “old version” with Palemoon now at 28.12.0.

    NetSurf is current but limited and does not do a lot of the things people expect in their browser.

    Time is running out for old browsers on old computers.
