with 23 year old PC
here's how:

1) use modern PC to download the following:
-supermium browser win32 binary, 100MB
-windows xp drivers for whatever you need to get your windows xp up and running
-put it all on a USB stick or in a emergency burn them to CD-R disc

2) 23 year old PC:
-pentium 4 CPU, 32-bit, not 64-bit
-cant use AMD Atlhlon Thunderbird because Supermium browser must use SSE instructions
-Athlon has faster floating point unit than a Pentium 4 running at same clock speed
-AGP graphics, a card that is supported by WinXP
-Windows Sound System compatible sound, could be like Sound Blaster Audigy 2.0 from 20 years ago or whatever, its a PCI card
-4GB DDR1 RAM, most Pentium 4:s will support this if you have access to 4x 1GB DDR1 RAMsticks
-2GB RAM works too but 4GB is much better experience
-somekind of means to connect to internet:
-WLAN PCI 32bit card which connects to a 5G router which has SIM card?
-PCI 32bit Ethernet card and a wired connection
-windows XP compatible 3G USB modem is very unlikely to work today, multiple countries have dismantled 3G networks, at least Finland did

Yes you theoretically use 5G on XP but you need to use on of those 5g routers were it connects to 5G and you connect your network cable to that device.

these days, your biggest problem is gonna be graphics and a lack of modern decoding. Even my X220 feels like shit on the internet because of that. Otherwise everything feels fine and snappy, but you really start to feel the dated graphics drivers and hardware because of how bloated shit has become. I have a laptop a gen older than my X220 and it feels even shittier. It's half the reason I just flatout can't handle using Windows on a laptop, all the pretty twinkly graphics that feel fine on my gaming desktop feel like shit on a laptop

Godspeed on whatever you're doing though anon

Can do!
But...
Lags as hell because there has to be 58 fucking javascripts per page...
Crashes because 8GB+ of RAM are needed to display a fucking webpage...
and Cloodflare will block you from 99% of the web anyway.
:(

You could dumpster dive and found a more recent machine

I have a xp box that I used some jeetware to install regular unmodified Firefox on it and it is fine. Though it's an am2 platform with a 4670agp and kinda cheating with a x4 980BE cpu
>>
lol ur browser is called spermium
>>
>>106462395
literally zero usecase, also if you really want to use an old pc just use Ethernet retard. only faggots use WIFI or 3G on a desktop pc.

One-Core-API lets you run modern software/browsers on XP

has this been tested to work with the browsers which are most compatible with modern web

could things like ipv6 and 512 bit keys hinder efforts in xp?
