I have tried all Chinese browsers based on Chromium on Windows XP and also on Windows 10
-Google Chrome 79.0.3945.88 (unofficial)
Only tested on Windows 10 (must work on Windows XP):
LOL.... Yes but No
you have barely tested a handful of browsers that are listed on that qq site

I'm not really a fan of Chinese browsers to be fair... You know, I don't want Winnie the Flu spying on me...
it's been repacked by someone else and if you are good enough on browser analyltics you can check it out by yourself whether they are spying on you.
do you really think Google and Mozilla are ladies of charity ?

Regarding CCleaner, I recently switched to BleachBit and it claims to support XP
So there's alternative at least.

It would be interesting to hear from Chrome 49 users like @Dave-H. Firefox ESR 52 and Yandex 17 are not affected.

Actual link is (no surprises there) :

Except for Firefox Browser (which is simply a Chrome wannabe
), all three other alternatives are Chromium based...
why is it greyed out when using user agents on F52 ?

@Mathwiz Firefox 52 runs smoother with W10 user agent.... but Serpent 52 rejects this xpi file trasplant

Something strange with these browsers in XP (firefox, new moon etc).
Firefox browsers have never been optimized enough for XP.
with Chrome I can go beyond RAM + pagefile (virtual memory) limit with no issues @daniel_k
while on Firefox if you open-close too many tabs it might crash at any time.
just in china there are almost 300 web browsers and most of them are based on chrome @roytam1
although roughly 4 browsers do meet our requirements = up to date, compatible with XP 32, full UI in english,
two out of them are well known here Maxthon and 360chrome
''chupacabra'' may want to give the two other browsers a try (based on chrome 75) @ED_Sln

We will soon stop supporting this browser. To get the best experience, update it.
But there is a link in there, where does it go?
it looks like the outdated chrome 49 I don't think to many people are still using it.

That has not been my experience - and if you use a different ad blocker, then why are you arguing with me?
we are talking about ADB plus right ?
if you have never experienced that it's because you only visit a few internet sites
everybody else in this forum knows that in some sites you are bound to disable adblock
while other sites just show a warning message and let you click the ''accept'' button to conitue using it with adblock enabled.

I generally click the option to "continue with adblocker" or "continue without supporting us"
not all sites will allow you to do that. most times you get stuck until you disable ADB and refresh the page (F5)

The same browser build used with Win 7 (32 or 64 Bit) runs much much faster.
''Performance-wise, XP is also not that good anymore. Windows Vista and especially 7 make much better use of multicore CPUs, and large amounts of memory.''

Thanks for the investigation. I'm not using uBlock these days, and it's a safe bet that @caliber isn't either
I use the ublock origin to be more specific.
I have recently downloaded the latest version from github but I don't know why it gets automatically upgraded to 1.17.4 version
I askem him @VistaLover what's going on but did not get any response unfortunately.
anyway with ublock either enabled or disabled the Washington Post issue has not gone
1 hour ago, Vistapocalypse said:I went back to Adblock Plus not because I think it's better (I don't), but because Mozilla still signs it.
of course it's not better whatsoever. @Dave-H
ADB PLus is easily trackable and many sites do tell you do switch it off whereas uBlock origin is almost undetectable in the same sites.

I suffer from this slowness with Yahoo mail since January 2019....
I have even tested it under 360 EE or Maxthon but the problem persists.
However google Gmail is pretty fast and smooth with any browser.

Instead these developers are actively blocking OSes that are not in their support list. That is entirely different situation.
most common excuse from software developers is it's an outdated OS...
XP is actually only 8 months older than W7
millions of XP users switched to a more recent OS because they knew nothing about web browser alternatives @roytam1

too late for crying... if you are not the market leader and drop support fox XP this is what might happen. (Moonchild staff is also responsible for this)
if Safari ever give up and switch over to chrome .... only the UE can prevent this google monopoly

yesterday I thought you had already tried them all out.... LOL
what if you first check and share later prior to posting browser links that have been deprecated because of safety reasons ?
false assumptions once again... I would rather recommend a good uninstaller/ cleaner
