It looks and works nice and fast, but I miss add-on's...
Such as my favorite 'Print friendly & PDF.'

Why would you even need Windows XP nowadays?

I still have a laptop with XP for old games that don't run on 64-bit Windows, so for nostalgia reasons. Not as a production machine.

There are still people who use XP on computers that contain well-functioning and expensive hardware that is still useful. Not everyone uses their computer just for facebook, emails or youtube.

this browser MyPal works well with XP in youtube and facebook. except this site
https://www.bbc.com
and like all other browsers on XP it can't run the videos from that site and gives an error msg:
(( This player no longer works properly on your device. you need to update your browser or device to continue ))
try opening this video:
https://www.bbc.com/news/av/technology-60261508
the bbc videos in youtube and facebook still works
but in general this browser is very useful

52.9
I have multi-colored letters in this version, some kind of incompatibility with video cards. I have seen such bugs in .NET Framework applications. I install version 51 and make the folder read-only so that I don't update. In the settings, the update prohibition flag is ignored. But some pages are displayed differently, for example, the weather on gismeteo.

Yep, Firefox 52.9.0 ESR like Opera 12, are a bit old now to support all the html5 evolutions. As time goes, there are more and more sites that are not well displayed.
Even if I don't really use Firefox anymore, I fully support, it's good to have another engine than chromium.

Pretty sure mollyvaynerchuck is a bot - it talks about "fixing the issue with Google Meet" - an issue that was never previously mentioned in this topic.
