Does it works with windows XP ?

@spinalgr1990, meh, the developer seems to have abandoned even Windows 7. For XP try MyPal fork.

If you want a modern browser on Windows XP, you should be using MyPal i guess.

the original Firefox was significantly smoother than that crap Mypal fork. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/96#issuecomment-1817526205

Can Mercury 115 works on SSE3 chipset? I can not run any version on Pentium G3220 / Win 8.1.

@spinalgr1990 @sergeevabc @adeii @andika207 @falcie1337 No it does not work on XP. It works on Windows 7 and above.

I have not abandoned Win7 or this project. That is one reason why it is on ESR 115.

The original mypal based on palemoon. The newer one is based on Firefox 68, and (very) recently, it has become stable enough for daily use > https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/releases

since your next Thorium release will be based on Supermium hints you could also fork the WinXP version https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/96#issuecomment-1817526205

if you take a look at the open issues you will realize that most people complain about sites not working.

I don't care how much stable it is now but I'm done with Firefox because it's sluggish as hell... the lesbian never took care of their smaller user base they used to drop support for old systems because chrome was doing so hence now they only have 3% of global market share.

@andika207 Lesbian? And what has 3%? XP or Palemoon or MyPal.

XP's market share AFAIK is under 1% in 2023 (sniff sniff)
