The better old-version sites often tell you which versions work with what
OSes,

Its not just that. I would (now) like to know beforehand what kind of
"features" a browser comes with. Like the blasted "tiles" (ad injection),
"pocket", that infamous "lense" fiasco and others that come with different
versions of FF. And thats apart of the "calling back" behaviour ofcourse.
I was never able to choose a version that would /not/ have them, as the
pertaining info was simply not there to be found (by me).

I've long thought that there should be a table of what major changes
came with what versions - Atlantis from (I think) 29, new-format-only
extensions from I think 53, and so on. Probably not practical because
(a) people would never agree on what is a "major" extension
(b) the rate of new versioning has got ridiculous.

(There probably _is_ at least one attempt at such a table, somewhere.)

But sadly there are a lot of sites it now won't run (run being the
operative word, as websites are now programs).

I consider that to be of a while different level, with the choice to "give
in" wholly mine (and I normally don't).

For the record: I've got all scripting disabled, and a plugin which blocks
all third-party content (until I white-list it on a site-to-stite base - a
webpage from domain A may connect to domain B, but a webpage from domain C
must get its own permissions).

And yes, that blocks me from most "social media", "file download", "news
outlet" and alike websites. But for some reason I do not find that all
that problematic ... :-)

A good pun is its own reword.
