Have you tried changing your user agent? I'm using "User Agent Switcher" 
and surprisingly, what seems to work best is just sending a blank user 
agent for some sites. Claiming to be FF 52 or 60 on Linux also works for 
some sites but have to be careful that the site doesn't try to use some 
unsupported JavaScript.
I'm also coming across sites where our NSS seems to not support the 
encryption the site uses. In theory it shouldn't be hard to update NSS 
(and NSPR as they go together) but my first attempt resulted in a crashy 
SM, whereas using the old ones and keeping the DLLs loaded high is very 
stable besides the CPU usage on some sites or even just enabling Chatzilla.
As others have said, the trick is the dependencies. I believe Steve has 
kept up with the needed ones though I do wonder about fontconfig not 
being properly installed, it needs to find its config files in 
@UNIXROOT/etc.
ANPM is a much better way to do it, it's free from Arca Noae, you can 
put your Unixroot on any drive and install all the prerequisites. 
Unluckily the SM RPM is going to be a subscription thing I believe and 
since I'm not packaging the RPM, it is not my place to distribute it.
