I’m not a big fan of Sony smartphones. Yeah, their products almost always packed with technology, but in terms of engineering ideas and realization things they suck pretty badly. Same point of view regarding their photography division.
But nevertheless I’m using Sony XZ1 Compact as my main portable web gateway on daily basis. Using it due to ultra-compact size and no alternatives available. It’s a 2017 flagship, based upon Snapdragon 835 CPU and paired with 4Gb of RAM.

Today it is not an easy task to do. There are plenty browsers out there. “So, what is the problem?” you may ask. Most of them are based upon google chrome. This means that all of them are dialing back to google to share your private data. That’s the main problem.
Here is my personal list of browsers that I use in a daily workflow on Windows machine: Main surfer: [Iceweasel 110]
► replaced IceCat For visiting geo-restricted sites: [TorBrowser 12.
Everybody count Mortal Kombat on PC or King of the Fighters on NeoGeo as best fighting games ever. I have another opinion on that.
The most dynamic and neck-breaking fighting game is WWF. World Wrestling Federation. Fluid VGA animations and cool atmosphere, spiced-up with best combo system in the world, that’s the key to neat fighting game. It is extremely underrated! In my childhood i’ve managed to do 32-hit combo by Shawn Michaels.

UPDATED ON: 2022-05-04 This is the most powerful configuration, which runs Windows 7 without any issues or side effects. Threadripper 3XXX is possible, but micro freezes and stuttering are present, so it is not a viable option for smooth experience.

Internet is swarming with [amateurish articles about “incompatibility”]
of modern hardware with legacy Windows 7 operating system.
Just want to make a super quick note on neat browsers for legacy operating systems. There is not so much choice for such vintage OS these days.
There are two of last Mohicans. K-Meleon & MyPal.
K-Meleon is way more lightweight and will be good for slow puters. There is even a Windows 98 version.
While MyPal will bring up more modern web compatibility, but of course it is tad slower than K-Meleon.

Today, I finally fixed my laptop workstation from 2012. Model [Dell M4700]
to be precise.
Replaced old 2.4Ghz Dell 1504 WiFi module and installed brand new 1540 model with 5Ghz support ordered on eBay. Web speedtest shows around 200 Mbit/s. I’m satisfied with the result.
High performance quad-core cpu i7-3740QM (4c/8t) in conjunction with 8Gb of RAM and paired with 2Gb Quadro K1000M workstation video chip can do wonders (of course only within Windows XP abilities).
Yeah, i’m 108% confident
Nowadays people don’t have much choice in terms of choosing their web browser. google chrome is a choice of almost all common people.
I choose not to choose it. Because of it’s invasive philosophy to collect every possible thing it can dig up and then send back to it’s Master. I can’t even call it a browser any more. It is data-collecting platform, with very high privileges.
UPDATED ON: 2023-09-19 Device supports [1Tb Sandisk SD cards]
without any issues!
Many of you already know about this [legendary Symbian-based camera-phone]
.
It has impressive resolution and detail, which can’t be matched by modern camera-phones even in 2021. In this quick note i’d like to show ability of the device to work with large SD cards. Sandisk Extreme 400Gb A2 V30 was selected for testing. To my surprise device handled media without any hassles.
