Mypal strives to provide a current, secure, and reliable browser for Windows XP.
Many computers are still useful despite their age, but would be bogged down by modern operating systems like Windows 10 that are much more resource intensive than Windows XP, or don't support the hardware.

Unfortunately, many developers choose not to support Windows XP due to its age.
In contrast, the Mypal developers offer a fully up-to-date browser, to make that old computer useful again!

this just worked to allow me to access certain sites i was not able to access at all on most Windows XP browsers.
such as github.com, (allowed me to properly access the RELEASES downloads..) pastebin.com, etc
so this is a must have!!! for people still using XP!

this one browser works on many many sites that doesnt

[chrisNova777]

as it is a clone of firefox 68 that means its compatible up to 2019 standards!
which is huge for XP.. and provides access to websites that you just couldnt access at all without proper SSL browser support! such as pastebin or github etc (theres many more sites out there that refuse any non-secure connections!)

heres the release notes from firefox 68

if you want to search in the address bar to your default search engine you have to go into about:config and search for "keyword.enabled" and change the value from false to true

i also set the browser.link.open_newwindow to "1" instead of "3" so that links open in current tab not a new tab

Firefox 68 and Firefox 68 ESR were released on July 9, 2019.
apparently this browser was released summer 2023

make sure to add ublock origin for removing/zapping content + ad block

remember to change "keyword.enabled" to "true" in "about:config" to enable search frm the url bar
