New XP Browser options

Today I came across an installable XP "kernel" upgrade "one-core-api-pack-x86.zip"

"https://github.com/shorthorn-project/One-Core-API-Binaries"

I installed it on a spare Dell D531 laptop (AMD Turion 64 X2 2GB ram) running XP32 SP3.
(it installed much like a service pack)

Next I downloaded Firefox 128.0 ESR.
I tried to install it, but it said it was for win10 only, so I dumped the contents of the exe into a folder on to the desktop
with 7zip and ran the internal exe

C:\Documents and Settings\user1\Desktop\Firefox Setup 128.10.0esr\core\firefox.exe

Firefox worked despite complaining about XPCOM and passed all the "Cloudfare" challenges.

Next I download the latest portable Palemoon browser and it also worked.

By my estimation the "one-core-api-pack" is an XP game changer.

That's interesting to say the least. Are you suggesting that Cloudflare problems are related to the OS, and not the browser being used? Because on my machine, I've had to use 360Chrome in the past to load some sites that MyPal would not.

Which browsers had you been using before installing the API, and were you able to load websites with those after the install?
 
I'm still using MyPal 68.14.5b. It's my main browser. I was thinking of trying New Moon though ? How would that compare to MyPal ? I'm only considering it because as great as MyPal is (and it is !), there are quite a few recent sites I am losing and wondered if New Moon might handle them better ? I would use both browsers parallel to each other. Chrome 360 was good but i kept losing every ad-on I installed on it, so I stopped using it. :-/
