Are you referring to uBlock Origin, or something else?

thanks for replies

this PC is a backup-PC, in case of failure my standard PC

I need browsers where I can add "security devices" (that I found in firefox and derived and palemoon)

p.s.
in slitaz (mini distro) palemoon do this

@32bits That seems to be what greed does to the tech industry. Sadly...

@sarcade I recommend it. But if you run into errors with discourse, you will need modify http response and when palemoon forums come online.

Then again, I know what you need to do with that addon to make discourse behave too.

It's a pain that people use discourse. Its a terrible forum framework software

hallo sacarde2

you say «I need firefox or firefox-esr or chromium»

Why?

I use luakit and it works well in the most cases (not all: it can't render the new pictures formats build by the club Firefox-Google-M$ and, of course, y!, the propriety of those, especially to kill all other brothers... This club is a KILLER!) since the possibilities on Seamonkey are really reduced.

That is the situation: The GAFA's will make of 32 bits some waste... Millions of old PCs used by poor people.

rolfie did give you the right answer: old i7 whit less cores and less memory cost a few Euros, depending where you live!

or you can do as I : don't accept this situation and apply resistance...

lke also this browser

deb files

AI companion: ~~For Windows, you'd need to locate the last version that supported older CPUs not supporting the SSE2 instruction set, which is SeaMonkey 2.40.~~

thanks

@sacrade2 you'd have a better chance of building palemoon for 32 bit honestly. Though I am not sure how anyone would do that. I have never built 32 bit palemoon before because never needed it. I stopped using 32 bit a while ago.

EDIT:

Well at least as my main OS.

On some computers I do use multilib and similar, but I don't think that's what you meant.

the fine folks over at Tiny Core Linux Forum are also talking about 32-bit Firefox:

https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,27784.0.html

(fyi, nevertheless the OP OT issue regarding cpu not supporting SSE3 is probably a non-starter)

If all else fails you could compile Firefox yourself for whatever CPU you have (for gcc -march-native might be the best option). But that might not be easy if you are not experienced with compiling programs.

In searching the internet previously for similar solutions, I was able to find some 32 bit appimages of FF and Chromium, perhaps one of those might work for you.

firefox-esr too?

Re: firefox on old 32 bit cpu

dummy@example.com (rolfie) — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 17:14:50 +0000

All distros will use the build by Mozilla. Nobody will compile without SSE3 nowadays.

If you can't use one of the alternatives, the only way is to buy a more recent laptop or PC.

thanks

You could try this iso which works on my netbook that has a 32-bit intel atom processor, but it's built from devuan (excalibur) so it will have the same browsers as pure devuan or debian.

For browsers, this iso has lynx, links2 and dillo installed. Firefox and chromium will give you the same error message. Maybe falkon will work. If you already have daedalus installed, falkon is available in the repo and you don't need this iso to try it.
