(yay, another bulletin that i decided to make into a blog with some corrections)
weird.
you basically have two options - ancient Firefox (Pale Moon 28 builds by roytam1) or not so ancient Firefox (Mypal 68 by Feodor)
Pale Moon 28 acts up weird, sometimes crashes for no reason, but it is era appropriate and you can browse sites like SpaceHey no problem (that's exactly why i keep a Windows XP computer, to disconnect from modern web for a while time to time)
Mypal 68 is much, much more usable, but has one annoying quirk - it uses multiple processes by default, like any kinda modern browser. but Windows XP isn't modern. in fact, it is 20+ years old. so wen you open and close tabs, Windows XP may get confused by Mypal creating and killing processes at its whim and the whole system bluescreens, so you gotta disable that
and yeah, there's 360 Extreme, a chinese Chromium based browser, but it didn't work that well for me personally, and all others are terribly outdated and can't even load SpaceHey or YT2009 properly
and don't even think about Internet Explorer, max version you can go on Windows XP is Internet Explorer 8, and it doesn't even try loading most of SSL encrypted (HTTPS) pages

UPD: now there's Supermium browser, which is, well, just a fork of Chromium for legacy systems and it worked like a charm! so there is life on WinXP now~
There's also now r3dfox which has support for older windows releases (it's made by the folks at eclipse.cx), but it seems that only minimum Windows 7 is supported. I think you could get it running through OneCoreAPI on XP but I haven't tried.

А ты как икспой пользуешься? Всмысле она у тебя на виртуалке или на другом компе? Просто я тоже увлёкся поиском рабочего софта для хршной винды и пока из норм программ нашёл только упомянутый тобой супермиум и какой-то кастрированный но прикольный дискорд мессенджер (ещё там норм радмин работает, но в майн поиграть не получилось)
система стоит на отдельном компьютере, на реальном железе. часть из вышеупомянутых браузеров надо знать где искать - ссылеи на полезный стафф для выживания на winxp могу дать если нужно. radmin vpn у меня работает нормально, играла с парнем в half-life deathmatch и даже в minecraft - нужно только помнить что без мытарств с костылями по типу onecoreapi максимум на winxp - minecraft 1.16 (последняя версия что работает с java 8).
