Microsoft has been trying to convince Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11

Someone hacked TLS 1.2 support into either an old version of K-Meleon which is still supported on Windows 98 SE.  I was using that for a while on a really old Toshiba Satellite laptop, for fun.  I even had the mobile version of Facebook working on it last year.
