For that matter, are there any such sites? Perhaps on the modern Web, the Goanna/* slice is best left out of user agent strings completely.

Which is the browser, with the most most "up-to-date"/compatible engine with sites, and that has support, or is compatible, with Windows SP2 (aka Service Pack 2)? The point is that since long ago I use NewMoon 28... but I don't see updates to the engine with always the same messages at the blog: "No official Pale-Moon changes picked since my last build. No official Basilisk changes picked since my last build." So... that's it, which is the latest browser for XP SP2? Not dumb; maybe confused a bit. First that last part: the "No official * changes picked since my last build" refers to changes to only Pale Moon or Basilisk. Changes made to both browsers are likely to be changes to the UXP platform that is common to both. There have been many important changes to UXP, but few specifically to just Pale Moon or to just Basilisk. Unfortunately I don't know which versions of New Moon 28, if any, are compatible with SP2 of Windows XP. Perhaps @roytam1 can answer that, or you could try a "binary search:" go to http://o.rthost.win/palemoon/, download the latest NM 28, see if it works; if not, download the version halfway between the version you're using and the latest, see if it works; then depending on whether it works or not, move forward or backward halfway through the remaining list until you find the last version that works with SP2. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the browsers, e-mail clients and suites (except the x64 versions) should work flawlessly on WinXP SP2 - you (@johk) just have to have an eye on which SIMD extensions are required (non/SSE/SSE2)...aaaand if the CPU is supported in general (have a look at the FAQ, with a 686 [Intel Pentium Pro and AMD Athlon/Duron and higher] you should be safe). NM28 and Serpent 52 (maybe 55) should be the most compatible browsers, if I remember correctly. kind regards soggi Edited January 23, 2023 by soggi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a long time now I've used this as my default User Agent... Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win32; x86; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/109.0 (where I keep the FF version number inline with the latest FF release) I feel this helps more than it hinders with compatibility – rarely I use a more specific UA for a website that is capable of being backwards compatible with older browsers. I also feel that this makes my browser appear less unusual. I don't think it is a good idea to advertise that I'm using either XP or an older browser on the internet. I also occasionally use this... Mozilla/5.0 Windows This sometimes seems to negate any website 'decisions' based on UA and instead gives something more generic (and therefore compatible).

Right! From a mathematical point of view, the most efficient way to quickly get to the version of New Moon 28 that is compatible with Windows XP SP2.

The St52 fork has kept a good degree (still inferior to Fx52esr's) of WE-support (hence "webextensions.*" prefs), however it has inherited PM Sync from upstream Bk... Fx52esr, OTOH, is still (!) able to connect to Mozilla Firefox Sync service, so there's no parity between WE-sync in St52 and Fx52esr... What really begs the question here is why would SponsorBlock-5.1.8 require that pref to be set to true, if the user has no intention of syncing this WE across other devices... FWIW, AMO carries an updated version 5.1.11, advertised to be compatible with Fx48+ (but I rarely trust AMO when it comes to backwards compatibility ; they usually only check on the latest ESR and Release versions ) ...
