You should be able to use Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release). I
think 52.9.0 is the last version that supports XP.

You won't be able to update it, but it should work.

Comodo IceDragon is similar and is based on the same browser engine as
FF, but whether it works on Win XP I don't know. Worth a try though, I
would think.

Firefox is fine here with XP as is SeaMonkey which also offers
integrated mail and news

is ****e and not a joke. Win7 is much better.

when all you do is usenet does it matter ,
sometimes i post on a 386 with windows 3.1

Firefox 45 or earlier. All the current versions after 52 are incompatible
and you need a multicore processor to run firefox after version 45. Its all
in the docs.

There is very little choice these days as Chrome no longer supports XP. If
you attempt to load in an older version it won't.

Very slowly unless at least a core 2 duo processor with two gigs of ram. If
you have an amd processor then anything after 48 will crash on install..
See my previous message.

Not the current versions though. I have tried firefox on many xp machines
and firefox52 is only working well on the multicore processor machines
otherwise it can take literally minutes to load and if the page is
javascript heavy, go and have your lunch.

I would dispute that Windows 7 is better if you don't want a new operating
system every month with a host of things to be reconfigured every time..
After all if you are using xp and are happy to accept the shortcomings,
then at least there are a few months more of updates to 7, assuming the
machine can cope with it.

"One way to avoid falling victim was to upgrade to Windows 10..."

Another way is not to use Chrome.
