It all depends on the dear old aunt and if she is OK with some sites being a PITA. I would likely also suggest Edge as a fallback since that is a pretty hands-off experience and supports UbO to vastly reduce malvertising risk. I don't know enough about Safari on PC to make a determination, it might be a good alternative?. Hate to speak ill of our legacy but current day Firefox is not something I'd recommend anymore. While they may have a decent security setup at least for now, their rather chaotic direction and lack of focus on the browser core makes it more risky. A lot of unforced errors in the sec space I've seen.

I'm thinking of one of my dear old aunts in particular. She likes to read the celebrity gossip and British royalty gossip websites and check the weather and watch her stocks and bonds go up and down all day long. Nothing with a ton of video content, no Facebook or Instagram. Her problem is she will click on absolutely any link in her AOL emails, so she's always just one click away from getting malware. I had her on MX Linux for awhile, but she got a Windows 11 laptop from Amazon recently that puts her back at risk of all the Windows-only malware. I'm going to try to put her on Pale Moon, see how it goes.
