Why would you expect to be able to use a 7 year old version of a browser?

Why not? I am using Opera 36 on a Windows Vista machine without any problems.

If TheKrell needs a new browser (compatible with Windows XP and up) there is Mypal (which is based on Firefox Quantum). You can also use Mozilla Adds-ons. Certainly better than using IE!

Time to buy a new computer?

Have one already. I like to keep old ones around as long as possible due to all the great software it has on it.

I didn't. But it did work fine with SG until I cleared the cookies.

Mypal says it's unstable. I'll try for Opera again for my W7 partition. Unfortunately it says it won't work on W2K, which is what I still have running in another partition. It's amazing what we could do with so little memory back in the day.

I haven't found it to be unstable on the sites I have used it for, and I am using it to post here right now (rather than Opera). The bonus is that I can use the Mozilla add-ons, whereas Opera 36 is pretty much dead for most add-ons

A 7 year old browser is likely to have security issues and might not be able to handle the latest HTML coding.

There is a Firefox version for Windows but Firefox support for XP and Vista has ended. Not only that, the XP OS is no longer supported by Microsoft which means XP could have security issues.

Yes, there are a few sites which Opera 36 won't do some of the HTML coding, but not many. I also have a Maxthon browser for some of them, and just recently added Mypal to the mix. Haven't had any security issues, and who would now be writing security issues for these old OS, when they could exploit the latest versions!

Well, Mypal 68 won't run at all, so I tried falling back to the last stable version. It won't run because of lack SSE2 instructions in my processor. On to Opera 36.

That's too bad, thought it would work for you. You could always try Maxthon, it also works on SG.

EDIT: Maxthon version 5.3.8.2000

 

[TheKrell]

On to Opera 36.

My God does everybody make it hard to download this old software! Every page has a ton of Download buttons, most of which download some manual finder rather than Opera.

Try this site (never have had any problem when downloading anything from them):

Opera (32bit) Download - A browser designed for speed, efficiency and protection

Opera (32bit). Opera is easy to access the Internet and absolutely secure, which has powerful extensions, covers the basics with tabbed browsing, mouse-over previews, a customizable search bar, advanced bookmarking tools, and

Everytime I see a new post to this topic, I think "oh god somethings broken on SatelliteGuys."

Hey, we all need a good laugh every now and again.

 

[TheKrell]

Don't worry, Scott. It's just me again.

I am using Opera 36 on a Windows Vista machine without any problems.

Thank you for the link to Opera 36. Unfortunately that installer also will not run because of a lack of SSE2 instructions in my processor.

 

[Foxbat]

BTW, Microsoft is dropping even Enterprise support for Windows 7 in January 2023. They don’t want our money anymore…

Sorry, Krell.

Once again if I hover over a name on a like it doesn't do anything. It's just text. It used to be a link and would show how you liked.

We were talking about that several posts back before Thekrell derailed us with his ancient computer woes...lol.

Be nice to me. I just tested positive for COVID.

Think though, it balances out testing negative for finding a usable browser... lol.

P.S. Get your doc to call the pharmacy, and get you a script for Paxlovid. Worked great for us, and no need for yet another booster. It cost us $0.00

 

[Bobby]

I've had 4 boosters and none of them cost me anything...
