I hear ya buddy 😀

If you wanted to make it available on IE6, you might be able to create a local proxy on a SBC that handles the TLS 1.3 handshake, simplifies HTML and serves it to your XP machine with HTTP?

I wouldn't expose an IE6 machine directly to the internet personally. Maybe some version of Opera that works on your PC? I seem to remember Opera having better legacy support but idk.

I didn't even want to expose a computer to IE6 (online or not) when it was brand new.

By far the worst PC browser I've ever used. I remember IE4 being "meh", so I would alternate between that and Netscape Navigator. IE5 was much better, so I mostly used that with a bit of Netscape on the side. When IE6 came out I tried to use it, but I think I ended up using IE5 again until switching to Firefox and haven't looked back in 20 years (aside from occasional Chrome or Edge use).

To use IE6 for the modern web in 2025 is interesting as a hobby... but sounds like pure masochism as a person's main browser.
