That's not what you told us initially.
You reported the three "strange visitors":

then nearly 18 hours later you said:
Now here's another puzzle. I don't know if it's related to my
previous question about unwanted visitors in top, but I decided that
I ought to start a new thread.
I managed to get rid of those pesky unwelcome visitors, and imagined
that I was on the way to having a machine that actually does what I
want.
All of a sudden, most of my browsers will not launch at all. I even
went on a spree, and downloaded lots of different browsers, just to
try them out (and to see if I could get anything to connect to the
Internet).

At this point, I find that I have spent a big pile of
money on nothing, and
cannot move forward. I have a machine that is only useful for a passive
spectator, to listen to music and online radio and watch videos, etc., but I
cannot actually use it for work.
I know that you are frustrated, and I feel for you.
I am confident that the computer is fine for doing work, or at least it
will be once you stop "fixing" it and actually do fix it. I am not a
betting man, but if I were, I would bet dollars to donuts that the
problems you are having have nothing to do with the hardware, or that
Devuan is broken.
