Updated web browsers for Windows XP

In my quest to extend the joys of an XP computer I have tried out many of the above and if it will help I will offer my impressions of the ones I use, try to use, tried to use and stepped away from.
Midori :
As a couple of posters have noted, It works! I find it to be pretty fast and seems to be missing the conflicts that make several of the other recommendations start-stop-chatter-& fail. It has a simple and clean lay out, almost Spartan, and of all those I have tried so far it is on my keepers list.
Opera:
This one is apparently the go to browser whenever a user starts to get scary about the evils out there in Cyberlund. I have tried it several times and each time I reach the same condition and conclusion. Opera is no longer being supported by its developers. If you require the security blanket of system and security updates you may as well look some place else. Also I find Opera reminds me of the dark days of IE and Windows 95. Why? I cannot tell you for sure. It's like driving into a new town and seeing streets and buildings just like the streets and buildings you have seen someplace before. Also I find that in a short time Opera starts to hiccup and stagger. It won't load a page completely or it will eventually just blink out and require re-opening. It has reached the level of tried it got rid of it and will not be looking back.
K-Meleon:
I thought this was going to be The One. It wasn't. One of my first tasks after installation of a new browser is to get into it's Settings or Options. I will determine when or if it will update. I will determine all that little stuff that makes browsing a pleasure or a pain . K-Meleon is like falling into the Way Back Pit. Everything you can imagine can be tweaked in that settings area. I was overcome and eventually totally out of my league. Of course the browser didn't work properly after I was done with it. I think it needs to be on the Possibly A Keeper list. It might have been great except for my dabbling.
Advanced Chrome:
What I downloaded was identified as Not a legitimate 32bit file. That sort of puts any trial on hold as far as I'm concerned.
Comodo IceDragon:
The same as with Advance Chrome, above. Why will a web sites proudly offer a browser for download that "WORKS FOR XP" and then give or sell you something that absolutely will not, can not, work on an XP system? I might check these out again later but they are way on the back burner as far as I'm concerned. If it won't load then it can't play.
Yandex:
Chinese? Snoopy? It put lots of stuff in my system and left lots and lots of stuff behind after its removal tool was finished. I use Revo Uninstaller and that seems to get rid of the trash that some browsers leave, (deliberately?) behind.
Maxithon:
The same as Yandex but on steroids. This one left over 1,000, yes that is one thousand, bits of flotsam and jetsam in my system after running it's built in uninstall .
The BIG 2:
I have used both, (Chrome and Firefox), and both have the same problem. Too damn big. Too much stuff going on all the time. Both seem to slow everything down to a crawl and both often conflict with the sandbox I prefer to run them in.
That's about it from this list. I use Iron for my default. I have slimmed it down a bit and it now mostly runs within Sandboxie without problems. I'm still looking and I will find The One but it appears to be a something that isn't going to be easy.

How about You? Got a story to tell or a recommendation to offer? REPLY PLEASE

The best browser for XP which supports html5 and allows normal viewing of Youtube on the old computer is the Mypal 28.4.1 browser.

I have added a note for Midori: the browser doesn't receive updates since 2015, but it still works on Windows XP.

Serpent, New Moon and Otter Browser are still updated for Windows XP and not mentioned here yet.

Why was chromium Browser left out. Some relatively new videos may not operate due to flash player and MKV files, but the rest it is rather capable of displaying better than chrome. Slim jet is alright but since the above browser provides very little obstacles to transit through webpages, I use more of this browser than any other. Obviously the support for the same is no longer available. Yet it appears to be stable except in case of some new video files.

Perhaps worth mentioning, for anyone willing to battle it out with Mozilla's Firefox; there's a great (!) user.js configuration file, for its about:config settings:

EDIT: It's (mainly) meant as a TOR privacy template, so it does take a lot of editing. :)

Options for web browsers really are becoming fewer and fewer.

I have removed Firefox from this list: Mozilla announced in the past that Firefox 52 would have been the last version supporting XP and Vista and Firefox 52.0 ESR reached its end of life date in June 2018.

There is some new development for midori for linux recently. Windows build is being worked on here: https://github.com/midori-browser/core/issues/209 .

You forgot 360 browser and Sougou. They can be used on Windows XP. Maxthon is also good.

Another XP PC here. I couldn´t play Twitter videos in neither Firefox and Chrome (not even open pictures in the latter) and the first browser I am testing from this list is Yandex (I´ve used this company for reverse image search in the past, I guess they are Russians?). I don´t know about security issues yet but it is working like a charm for now; Super light and fast, and it plays absolutely everything I´ve tried, so I am going to try it further than Twitter and see.

Thanks! If we talk about XP , Vivaldi is pretty good, because it "light" for system

UC Browser has been abandoned, no longer updated fyi

Nobody should be using XP for internet access nowadays. Even if you brush aside the security issues, there are the practical things to consider like Flash and other browser add ons not being available to an ancient 32 bit OS. There is only one real reason to still be using XP, and that is to play old (hopefully not online) games that don't work in a newer OS. With tablets and laptops being the norm for a lot of people nowadays, there is a mountain of old desktops knocking around - old but still capable of running Windows 7/Linux (basically bare minimum of dual core CPU and at least 2GB RAM) that can be picked up for virtually peanuts on eBay/Amazon etc. Do get a tech savvy friend to advise you though because there are plenty of unscrupulous dealers charging silly prices and it's quite easy to pick one up for £30 - £50 if you know what you're looking at.
