More and more software has quickly lost XP compatibility. I'm already finding myself struggling to download software I want to try on ReactOS itself because modern browsers are essentially unsupported.

If it wants to remain relevant, it'll need SOME Windows 7 APIs at least. It doesn't need full compatibility like I think it should with older releases, but it needs to be compatible enough to run a few nice to haves as well.

Not necessarily useful/suitable for use in ReactOS, but there are a few modified "recent" browsers that do work (mostly) on XP.

Mind you it's a mess of various browsers and versions and modified ones and patches to the modified ones, but if you are interested, here is a good entry point to the rabbit hole:
