My dad is using an old Android Tablet to surf the web. Unfortunately there hasn't been an update available for some years.

This year it stopped displaying some websites because of a newer HTTPS algorithm which isn't supported anymore by the tablet. And that for watching the weather forecast and similar things that really don't need to be forced to HTTPS.

Can that Android tablet run the mobile version of Firefox by any chance? At least on desktop, Firefox doesn't rely on the OS for https, which is helpful on older systems. I imagine mobile would be similar.

I tried opera because I couldn't find firefox in the store. Opera worked about a month longer than the default browser, but doesn't work anymore.
