I have been using arcticfox for few years now, it gives me a good old software vibe. My old computer is an intel Skylake. The browser builds and runs ok abeit a bit slow. I think this is because, on OpenBSD building arcticfox with -O2 will produce crashing binary (-O1 is ok, even the README says to only use -O0). I recently got a new Alderlake based system, arcticfox builds ok with my .mozconfig. However when I try to run it, the binary crashs with error: "illegel instruction". Oh well, back to firefox for a bit I guess, sad face.jpeg

Illegal instruction means that the cpu instruction in the code does not exist on the cpu. so it is compiled for newer cpu hhan yours. you should be able to solve ih by providing exact flags to the compiler. CFLAGS="-march=core2" should work on any x86_64 but if you figure out exact march for your architecture, that would be perfect.
