[DISCUSSION] Browser Support for Windows 7

Your welcome I pretty much check out the git hub pretty much everyday waiting for the 32 bit version since I am running the 32 bit version of windows 7.

 

Yeah, we should care about the the useless OOBE, not about relevant things like the ungoogle/privacy patches or the patches to use it as portable....

 

Eh true though if you ask me all that matters in my opinion is an updated chromium browser being able to run on windows 7 & 8.1.

I mean bad enough it shows chromium can continue to run on windows 7& 8.1 & from what I have read from the catsxp website & about supermium over on the MSFN forums.

Google removed components & dll's to make it so new versions could no longer run on windows 7 & 8.1 but you add back the components & dll's that where removed & boom it all works again. Though granted probably harder then I make it sound lol.

Anyway since this is on github anyone can take it & fork it. So if someone wanted to they could make there own browser based off of this & add/do the stuff you mentioned.

Though eh sadly that all depends on if anyone is willing to fork it to be ungoogled/more privacy friendly & well portable lol.

Edit: also found out supermium uses a bit of spoofing to think it's running on windows 10

Eh true but back then they said they had no clue when they would actually end support.

"We will not be ending support for Windows 7/Windows 8 before the release of the Firefox 115 ESR, so the Firefox 115 ESR will support Windows 7/Windows 8 at least until 3Q 2024.

I can't speak to when we will remove support for Windows 7/Windows 8."

Now they announced it will officially be the last release.

 

Isn't more or less what I wrote at the time?

 

True I mean I am not denying that at all & your calculations where correct but at that time the Firefox developer said "I can't speak to when we will remove support for Windows 7/Windows 8"

Which this was linked all over the place on windows 7 reddit & other forums & people thought that it meant there was a chance for Firefox to possibly continue after v115 ESR but eh when you posted that info it wasn't officially confirmed, it just wasn't known Firefox would end with v115 ESR.

So I posted a link about it being officially confirmed today.

So eh I am not saying you are wrong or anything like that & not looking to start an argument or anything of that nature. Just wanted to share that it was officially confirmed firefox was ending & that was all lol.

 

@ExiledRose6084

When a politician tells that he will not raise the taxes before the next year, he is really telling "the next year the taxes will be raised"

Here is not different, the news must be interpreted, and a shocking news is given in a softer way initially, to mitigate the reactions, but really no confirmation is needed, in such situations.

 

Makes sense & understandable.

Anyway sorry if I was rude in any of my posts.

 

No need to sorry, we are just discussing.

 

@wkeller , check your chromium hibbiki versions 120 is the latest not 75 even though it's on top. link to the 64 and 32 bit versions.

 

I must have made a typo. Thx, updated.

 

huge dissapoiment from mozilla, once they were the BIG as for the long term support.....we dont know yet for 7 but the IRONY as for 8.1 is that by the time firefox support ends , nt 6.3 core it will be STILL supported (throught 2026)
