Chrome is way worse than Firefox when it comes to ram/cpu usage
The only XP machine Iâm responsible for is part of a sound mixer and used for recording purposes. Both Audacity and SoX are used. They work just fine on XP.
An older version of Bittorrent Sync is used in the background to sync files that are created.
I think you say so because you have so much crap installed on your browser
I use FL STUDIO for audio stuff
Donât use utorrent!!! Please, Itâs a mining software. Please use something like bitcomet, It has a very âXPâ UI and still supports XP: BitComet - A free C++ BitTorrent Download Client
older versions of utorrent are fine
at least Try bitcomet, I bet youâll love it. And old versions of utorrent COULD be vournable.
Iâm no torrent guy, but i think iâm going to use Bitcomet instand of the broken Qbittorrent or the Spyware-bloated uTorrent.
Good boi
in my usage most of the time both uses the same amount of ram and CPU, so i disagree with you here
I can agree with you, @Macintosh_Lapfan, Iâve never seen any differences between Firefox and Chromeâs performance.
if you think utorrent is âspyware-bloatedâ then youâre probably the kind of person that just clicks ânextâ without looking at what the setup program is asking you
iâve used utorrent for years and have gotten spyware as a result of it zero times
exactly
I still donât trust uTorrent due to the suggestive ads, which are mainly ethier fake online dating ads or just âmade in chinaâ anime games whose gimmick is boobs.
removing ads is easy on utorrent tho
but still, i prefer other clients, such as BitComent.

Be sure to keep XP fully up to date (POSReady or not) by installing patches that came out after support ended, such as WannCry patch and Bluekeep for example.
Close all system ports with external access (TCP 135, 137-139, 445, UDP 1900), disable uPnP.
