How can I view old MSN Messenger, XML chat files in Ubuntu 22.04 as I used to view them in any browser in Windows?

Opening them in any browser in Ubuntu returns a blank page.

Search Google for any "MSN Messenger XML Viewer", there are many options that can do what you need.

I can open them with Gedit, that's not the point. The point is I want to view them as I do with any browser in Windows, not some jumbled mess of code, like in Gedit.

Please edit your question to explain this point.

In the end, XML is just a plain text file with a certain structure, created by the XML-Tags. I'm not sure what you expectations on the result are, as I never used MSN in the past nor do I have an old, Win-based browser. Can you please edit the question, adding a (short) example showing your expectations on the result?

I don't get the 'old' part, noisefloor. I viewed this just fine in Chrome in Windows 7 one year ago.

What is it you don't understand, Alejandro?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
