Mypal
What Mypal is
Mypal is a free, open-source browser maintained for older Windows computers, especially Windows XP systems. Its maker describes it as based on Firefox Quantum and intended to keep older machines useful when modern operating systems cannot run or run slowly. The browser supports Firefox extensions such as uBlock and NoScript, plus themes made for Firefox Quantum. Manifest V3 is not supported, and support is not planned. The download page lists version 78.0.3 as a 32-bit download, links to 64-bit downloads on GitHub or Codeberg, and provides language packs. The Mypal68 project lists Windows XP SP3 through Windows 8 as supported systems. Minimum hardware is a Pentium 3 or Athlon XP processor with SSE and 512 MB RAM; a Core 2 Duo-level processor and 2 GB RAM are recommended. On Windows XP, the browser may crash after reaching a 1.5 GB memory limit.
