Opera 12.18 can still be downloaded. There is even a 64-bit version available. TLS 1.2 may need to be manually activated in its Options menu. Its weak point which led to its downfall, was imho precisely the Presto engine, which was not really supported by web site developers

It is need to know, though the only desktop that I have access to that still runs opera is already running the good old one, but it is also a old mini laptop :grin:

As for the phone use I mentioned, I have a windows phone, and opera is just amazing for that purpose. I also use the android version of opera for my tablet, but thats slightly different.

On my 1 GB RAM laptop, I can run both New Moon and Opera 12.18 at the same time, without too much slowdown.

Plus, a very very few sites are broken with New Moon. Therefore, I use Opera 12.18 as a solution in such cases.

I tend to use firefox for most. I assume New moon are Pale Moon?

Yes... and no. It is a third-party mod of Pale Moon tailored for XP, since the official version of Pale Moon does not support XP anymore.

I use the mod maintained by Feodor2:

There is another one maintained by Roytam1, but it is a lot more "bleeding edge"
