Works for me.  I do not have Firefox compatibility enabled. Youtube.com works and there is no warning message about the browser I am using.

studio.youtube.com does not seem to know about SeaMonkey, but works if you click on the button below.

I am using SeaMonkey 2.53.4 beta 1 pre   build by W9Gs.

The issue seems to me is that many web page designers do not know about SeaMonkey and reject the browser since it is an unknown browser.  If the sniffer would  look for the browser engine (i.e. gecko) instead of the browser's name (i.e. SeaMonkey) we would run into fewer compatibility issues.
BUT the webmaster did not know about gecko or other engine, they just look at the brower name ....
And certainly never read this newsgroup mozilla.support.seamonkey.
You are the voice crying in the desert
