Or browser, from your previous messages.

Running XP means running old browsers, old browsers don't support modern
encryption, some sites that don't really need to be encrypted are anyway
because somebody thought it would be a good idea, so you end up with
inaccessible web sites ...


Win XP will only run IE versions up to 8 usually - and that is a bit
long in the tooth. However you can run relatively recent versions of
firefox, which will cope with most sites, but you will be a bit more at
risk since you won't have fixes for the most recent critical browser
vulnerabilities.



Browser for Win XP still updated a fork of firefoxPalemoon
