r3dfox is a modern web browser based on Mozilla Firefox, specifically developed to provide compatibility with Windows Vista, 7, and 8. It offers a contemporary browsing experience on legacy operating systems, incorporating features such as a new default theme, native-like UI elements, Aero Glass support, and full portability without touching AppData. Additionally, r3dfox includes enhancements like reduced telemetry, JPEG XL support, GPU acceleration in VMware Workstation 16+, and the ability to override user-agent strings for specific websites.
While r3dfox is primarily designed for Windows Vista and newer systems, it also offers limited compatibility with Windows XP through the One Core API.
