ie8 was rendered inoperable many years ago, please read through the posts in this forum discussing xp browsers.
In reality Internet explorer pretty good especially in comparison with Google Chrome & modern versions of Firefox.
In what way is it good ? You can't enter to any website with it. Plus with active x it was very vulnerable.

This. ActiveX was a huge security hole and was widely exploited by hackers. Just visiting a dodgy website would cause malware to be downloaded and installed without prompting the user. I used Netscape then Firefox to avoid this but I had to help many unsuspecting IE users back then. Unfortunately you had to use IE for Microsoft's websites or download updates because it relied on ActiveX.
Internet Explorer is the browser you use to download another browser.
At least it looks good. Among other things.
I remember there was a skin for firefox that would make it look similar to IE7. But I don't know if it exist anywhere or if it is compatible with Newmoon or Serpent Browser.
I don't know what other things you're talking about. When you said among other things.
Basilisk browser and Otter browser, man
^especially if you use --ignore-certificate-errors in your shortcut
Mypal is great, but if you want low memory usage, especially with many tabs open, try K-Meleon version 75 (Goanna engine)
I remember the old days when I still used gmail... I used the KMeleon Loader which preloads KM code without an open window. I could open and close gmail pretty much instantly (hard drive, never an SSD), it was even faster than beloved Opera12
it felt like Eudora (desktop POP3 email client that now supports IMAP and SMTP)

Use Pale Moon or Supermium. Even oldversion.com, a site for really old versions, also doesn't support IE.
Good suggestions. I really like MyPal (for all general use and uMatrix ads/scripts/trackers blocking) and Thorium, they're both still in active development. All-though for a Chrome browser I will often use Epic Privacy Browser (for it's fingerprinting-obfuscation) in the Win7 virtual machine running inside my XP, before I run Thorium natively in XP.
VM running on XP? Congratulations lol!
You bet, vmware 10.0.7 is the latest supported for XP hosts, and since I'm running XP64 it could access up to 128gb of memory. I've also ran Win10 and Android in XP but with obviously slower performance. XP is running Linux guests great, of course!
That means you can technically use Linux on older hardware without installing it! Nice!
