MODERATORS
For the most used services, legacy support is actually respected by Google.
Google Search still works on Internet Explorer 6 for Windows 98 and XP.
Wonder if that will finally change with web integrity.
don't think so
they might use that for more closed down "content" like special paid-for youtube videos or to "secure" some enterprise-google-apps-access.
And that'll never be available on the very last client out there - that's kinda important for things like web search. Google is really afraid of people starting to move away from google for that.
What I sent was an old screenshot from the web, but I confirmed it now. Google Search still works on Windows 2000 and IE5 in the middle of 2023
