    Mypal is based on code from Moonchild Productions' Pale Moon
    browser, which itself was based on code from Mozilla Firefox.

    Mypal is exclusively a Windows project, but Pale Moon seems to
    have bothe Linux and Windows:

    Thanks. I checked out pale moon a long time ago on a Win box to see if it would work when other browsers had stopped working. May need to give the
    linux version a go.

    I'm also finding that Mypal is even much faster in rendering
    pages than FF on my XP system. Pale Moon may have similar
    performance. I only stick with FF on select sites that have my
    login creds remembered.

    But my whole experience is just confirmation that technically
    there is no reason to abandon a 32bit browser it happens to be
    operated on XP. Mypal proved that continued support for
    today's sites is possible. My goodness, and we're only talking
    about supporting a simple web-based audio stream.

    Indeed. A lot of what has become obsolete since the beginning of the
    public internet age has become obsolete because someone wanted control over what is considered obsolete (and to keep selling new things).
