it was bullshit when they ended support for XP, and now I have to find alternatives on 7!!?
fuck you Mozilla, you just lost a customer!
Calm down, XP was 13 years old when it was retired. It lived a long, happy life. And Windows 7 was released seventeen years ago.
Using either OS in 2026 is extremely dangerous and stupid. Please switch to Linux.
Or you could move away from legacy systems entirely by installing Linux.
lol how much have you been paying them?
at least $25 a month for the past year!
they won't get another dime from me, that's for sure.
Rookie mistake. After your free trial is over, just cancel it and start a new one.
is that why they send me all those AOL CDs?
if you're serious pls update your shit it's time to move on big bro
I run all my systems on XP and 7. I don't like all this techno AI bullshit.
my whole work laptop is from 2002 and runs XP just fine!
Dude you are my worst nightmare as a security person modern hacking techniques are so unbelievably far ahead of XP, just go to Win10/Linux at least
Then upgrade to Linux.
