<![CDATA[Opera updates in Vista/XP?]]>When using Opera in Windows Vista, how does one know if they're getting the security updates (as explained here) even though the program isn't being updated in the other areas and the version number isn't changing?
Please advise.
Thank you.

:yes:

It works like a charm most of the time (let's forget about improper Chromium video rendering). However, there is a site time to time showing minor inconsistencies, like this netbynet.ru, which dips its pages' right edge into the obscure without any scrolling.
The question is, can I refer to Opera 36 (latest sec.patch) as a right browser to consider site compatibility? It's not too old at all, right?

Try that. Use the "setup" file.

May be stupid question, but I can not install Opera on my Vista computer.
Two weeks ago I deinstalled Opera and, I hope, deleted all folders with name "Opera" on computer.
Yesterday I wanted to install it again, but setup programm did not run - neither new setup from Opera-site, nor setup from ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera-winxpvista/36.0.2130.75/win/
The problem is: When I click on program file, nothing happens at all - without any message or error.

What can be the reason?

umm ... I installed build 36 on xp and pages keep crashing ... Is this a sign of thing to come?

It's probably more a sign that a OS upgrade will be soon inevitable.

Or your PC hardware is simply degrading.

Opera 36 hasn't been updated in a while, so nothing has changed on that end. XP is about as secure as a shopping cart these days and after 15 years there have been plenty of malware, viruses, browser hijackers, etc written that cause it a whole would of trouble. It is likely you have picked up something in your travels across the net.

Opera 36 is still working fine on XP here BTW.

Today it's working, too.
But the recurrent problem has been observed. Not sure what I'm gonna do about it.

Firefox users on XP and Vista have now been moved onto the Extended Support Release (ESR) channel, with Firefox 52 ESR.

Aha, I see it now...

Slimjet version 10 also supports XP and Vista, and as far as I know is still receiving security patches too.

What about Maxthon?

For the past few days, my Opera 36.0.2130.80 has stopped loading pages.
Though I thought I used **-sixty-something, what the heck? Did it autoupdate??? 😕

...
Firefox is dropping XP support this year. This would make Opera the only browser with XP support in the market.
If Opera could keep up XP support for as long as possible, that would be great.

Depending on whose stats one uses, XP usage is currently (early 2017) around 1%-8% in the marketplace. Based on what I've observed in the past over many Windows versions, once the usage of a particular Windows OS drops to below 0.5%, apps/AV compatibility support for the OS almost entirely will evaporate. That seems to just be the nature of the marketplace in terms of what is economically worthwhile in terms of updating software to remain compatible with an old OS.

Typically, in the later stages of a Windows OS life-cycle, its usage rate continues to decline with a roughly 12-month half-life. On that basis, probably within the next 2-5 years, it will have become almost impossible to find any applications or anti-malware software specifically stated to support XP. So in general, look for browser support for XP, from whatever source, to fall away entirely over the next couple of years. Just sayin', for reference...

Firefox users on XP and Vista have now been moved onto the Extended Support Release (ESR) channel, with Firefox 52 ESR.
This will also be supported at least until the second quarter of 2018, again only with security patches, no further facilities.
Firefox have said they will review the detected number of Firefox users still on XP and Vista later this year to make a final decision on when they will completely drop support.
Slimjet version 10 also supports XP and Vista, and as far as I know is still receiving security patches too.
It's only really Google Chrome which has completely abandoned XP and Vista users already.
