Simple web browsers stopped working everywhere (android, windows) because the web moved on : root certificate lists, cipher lists, web standards.

I’ve had old tablets and windows installations stop working (as well as macs and ios) for that reason. A new Firefox installations on Windows and Mac got the web working for a while more.

Yeah that's the big rub. Once apple abandoned their 32bit systems so did all the developers including mozilla. I was able to find pale moon. That worked for a time, but even those guys gave up support.

It sucks because perfectly good software just was abandoned almost overnight.

Edit: I'd like to add that I have gotten to a point where I felt comfortable upgrading to apple silicone (3 years in), but now I am experiencing the opposite problem. Where the same develpers were more than happy to drop support overnight; are now slow to develop for the new chipset.
