I'm developing a website that can be opened in a browser without HTML5 support (canvas, etc.).
I would like to test, just change the User Agent or is there a specific tool?

I'm using IE11 and despite the regrets it has the best tool I could find so far. Home Your Developer Tools (F12) tab is available Emulation , and in the Document Mode option some versions are available for compatibility tests. Home Example: Canvas is only supported from IE9 *, so by selecting option 8 in Document Mode, I can not use canvas.

The best way is to install an old version of a browser. Changing the user-agent does not resolve in most cases. At least if you do feature detection which is correct.
Another possibility is use an extension in FireFox or < a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/umatrix/ogfcmafjalglgifnmanfmnieipoejdcf?hl=en"> in Chrome , but I do not know if they behave well.
You can also try a tool that shows the result across multiple browsers for you. It will rarely be a solution but it is an alternative.
Development techniques where you do the basics without involving features available in modern browsers and then adding other features to the site can help with development.
