There's a surprisingly large Windows XP community; everything from security patches to browsers[0] to third party Discord clients[1].

Another browser alternative is Supermium[0] it's an up to date Chromium based browser that also works great in Windows XP.

My browsers[1] still target XP and developing in Win7.

There's a Windows 9x community too, although maybe not as large.
