Which Browser(s) To Use With Windows Vista?

i don’t get it

 

in other words: Use (big) Google Chrome. Did you test it on Vista and did it work with Youtube videos? Which version did you use?

 

Mozilla Firefox 52.9.0 ESR is my choice, too. It works even on YT, sometimes a script-error shows up. I only tested in VM.

 

I did try Firefox, but YT is not really loaded properly. I will check the installed version, though (it is someone else’s laptop, so it could take a few weeks). You mention version 52.9 ESR. What does ESR stand for? Is this version still supported?

If this question was already answered in this forum, my apologies. Could you direct me to the forum post?

Does that mean all browsers for Vista will have stuttering Youtube videos?

 

@Boris Livon Try and report. We don`t use VISTA as main OS.

 

Me neither. It’s a laptop my father uses, so I’ll try (and report) the suggestions offered here when I’m visiting him.

 

You got to tell your father that VISTA is completly out-of-date and End-Of-Life (EOL). It`s time to upgrade to Win10. Laptops that can run VISTA are mostly captable to run Win10 too.
Okay, we are working here to keep VISTA alive - but that`s for our purposes and and not to keep online-systems alive spreading viruses all over the internet. VISTA ain`t a "daily-driver" anymore.

 

Don't forget about better security on older systems. New hackers are mostly not capable to compile compatible virus with older systems But Vista it's still under maintenance, so be careful.

 

@George King
You`re damn right, sir. ;-) Most of our old systems are not the prefered target anymore. But otherwise security-software and browsers for Win7 and older are not supported anymore, so the doors are wide-open.

You are right. For the standard things he uses another, modern laptop with windows 10. He just likes to keep his old laptop ‘alive’, and really enjoyed (past tense, because it stuttered as of late, and still does now) watching Youtube videos on it. But because the old laptop had gotten incredibly slow anyway, we set out on a journey to reinstall Windows, drivers and updates.

 

you probably can’t get a single virus under windows 2000 due to this case lol
every single (non-tech) adult i know uses windows 10 (a supported os as of december 11 2022)
so if one of them get infected, this theory is true

 

Well, yes and no: I´m using 7 fully-functioning browsers in Vista Ultimate and they are as up-to-date as possible. I should point out that I don´t touch soshul meejah or anything connected to Gargoyle (nigh on impossible, I know, but I try!). These are the browsers: Opera 12/Opera 36, SeaMonkey, Mypal68, Otter, New Moon and Serpent 52 (Basilisk). Obviously some sites refuse to play ball but I usually find a way and Opera 12.18 still works pretty well in Windows 10!

Not on my purpose-built PC originally an office PC for Vista Business. Vista Ultimate is capable of most of the tasks which Windows 7 and 8.1 can do. Requires a bit of tweaking and a lot of patience but it will do most things.

Just my 2 cents.

 

well, that gives me options. I shall try some of them. Do I need a lot of patience in making Youtube work without stuttering?

 

Is there a reason why you are using Serpent 52 and not Serpent 55?

 

I use Serpent 55 in XP Pro as 52 doesn´t work. In all other systems, XP Pro x64, Vista Ultimate, 8.1 Pro, 7 Pro it is Serpent 52. It may be that 52 doesn´t work in 32 bit XP Pro.
