      Mozilla has said that ESR 52 will be the last version of the browser for Windows XP and Vista; extrapolating from the RapidRelease schedule, it appears as if ESR 52 will go EOL around 29 May 2018, when ESR 59 leaves testing and becomes the sole ESR in development.

        Thanks, Lewis. I use Firefox as my main browser, without autoupdating though.

                Well, noticing recently people corroborate my Firefox observations: for them, as well as for myself, it must be getting slower and/or heavier with each new update.

                Google Chrome last for XP is working loads faster - though slightly infected with some "redirect" and "onclick" adware. So could be a not so bad idea to try this Opera 36 for the time being.
                What do you think, Dave. 🙂

                  While it will never be a replacement for Opera 12, Opera 36 has always worked very well for me, so give it a try! I would certainly use it in preference to Chrome, whose only big advantage in XP as far as I can see is that it includes some video codecs that XP and other Chromium browsers don't provide.
                  Slimjet 10 also has ongoing XP security patch support, and I would also recommend you give that a try.
                  It includes a really good video downloader!
                  🙂

                    O'k, thanks.

                    I downloaded Maxthon though. I might ask a question or two later in the Lounge...

                        I'm auditioning Maxthon now myself, looks interesting and works fine on XP!
                        I'll meet you in the lounge about it, as we shouldn't be discussing non-Opera browsers here.

                          The last update for Opera on older operating windows systems of XP & Vista is version: 36.0.2130.80 X(

                          Very disappointed with that decision to stop updating for older windows operating systems!

                          Many people have computers with older operating systems world wide!

                              It wasn't Opera's decision either, it was the Chromium project who dropped XP and Vista support with Chromium 50, which meant that all Chromium-based browsers had to drop support too. Slimjet managed to produce an XP/Vista compatible browser with Chromium 50, but then even they gave up.
                              😞

                                I don't want to upgrade my stuff but still want to be able to upgrade my stuff.

                                Somehow the argument doesn't really hold up when you put it in its simplest terms.

                                  Yes, it does.

                                  You know a story about a programmer's wife?
                                  She said: "Go buy a loaf of bread; if there are eggs there, take a dozen."
                                  Guess what?
                                  You doesn't seem to be a programmer's wife's husband 😛

                                    I eventually installed it this morning. **.65 ("36.0.2130.65 - Opera is up to date").
                                    This question: what is the exact package of Opera 36? Do we have this built-in adblocker here? No VPN, as I recall (Ah! Turbo's here! :yes: ).

                                      It's. 80 if I remember correctly.

                                      Do we have this built-in adblocker here

                                      I don't think so.

                                        It is indeed 36.0.2130.80 which at the moment is the latest version for XP and Vista.
                                        No built-in Adblock or VPN, they were both added in later versions.

                                            No, it uses Chromium 49, which is the last to support XP and Vista.
                                            Security patches have been applied subsequently, but whether this still leaves it less secure than the current version is unknown.
