Check out these
1. Firefox 115 ESR (works with Extended Kernel though not everyone wants Extended Kernel)
2. MyPal
3. Lun3r (Pale Moon based, works on XP+)
4. Hydra (Basilisk based, works on XP+)
5. chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK (despite the name it should work on Windows XP and above, and the creator has a Firefox one too for Vista+)

This also applies to XP and Vista, but… alright, I'll add one.

You can also try r3dfox, a backport of Firefox 140 ESR. It doesn't even require the Extended Kernel; the Platform Update will suffice.

chromium-for-windows-7-REWORK = alternative to Supermium (works on XP SP3+ and Vista despite the name)
One-Core-API-Binaries/OCAPI = allows you to run newer apps on XP (may be unstable and similar projects exist on Vista and 7 too)

Thanks! But how did you find some of these like Hydra?

By the way, if you're on 147.0.1 on Vista and tabs are crashing, try changing the sandbox level in about:preferences XD

My parents had a Windows XP installation disk still, so last year I grabbed an ISO of it, stuck it on my iPad, installed a emulator, and bam, I was able to install Windows XP on my iPad.

One cool thing which I learned about Windows XP from that process is that it has installation music. Apparently it wouldn't always play since drivers often needed to be installed first, but I guess the app's “soundcard” was supported out of the box.

I didn't do too much with Windows XP on my iPad except play a little bit of 3D space cadet. This was a while ago though, and since I haven't registered Windows, now it is not happy with me when I try to login.
