Oh man I am looking forward to the next supermium update I just checked the github page today & aero glass is going to be added back in with the next update Though I am hopping the update comes out soon. Never been excited for a browser update before lol. Also here is a screenshot of the github page for eh whatever reason lol.
Supermium v117 gets installed to a new folder. V115 gets installed to a folder named chromium in the c:users/username/appdata directory. In v117 it gets installed to a new folder called supermium which is also located in c:users/username/appdata directory. So eh sadly going to have to uninstall v115 & then install v117 or manually download v117 & extract it & place it over the v115 files. Since the location where the browser is installed to changed. Edit: after thinking about it maybe you could try changing the name of the old chromium folder to supermium & then try using the installer to update.
Thanks of ExiledRose6084, problem solved. Just copy the the folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Chromium to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Supermium and new supermium will recognize old settings. Deinstall the old Supermium first (inluding browser data, this removes %LOCALAPPDATA%\Chromium), then install new version. I installed the new supermium using the command mini_installer --system level so the new supermuim was installed to %ProgramFiles%\Supermium
Obviously you don't want to delete your user profile, just because a minor update in the browser. You will loose cookies password preferences and so on, something that may be desiderable only in extreme cases
Sorry, you didn't read carefully. Before I have removed my profile, I have copied it to a new location.
Sorry , I didn't get you were moving from chromium to supremium. With all the people excited with the new supremium build I thought it was just a supremium udate.
No problem. I was updating supermium 115.0.5760.0_R2 to supermium 117.0.5859.0, but supermium changed folder names from chromium to supermium.
Your welcome also be sure to check the github page in a few days there's a memory/ram issue & sure it will be fixed in like a few days hopefully but I will probably post when the update that fixes the memory issue is out.
I have not kept up with this, so it may have already been discussed. I updated Mozilla Firefox this morning in Windows 7 Pro 64-bit to version 115.0. After it updated and reloaded, it displayed a message which said version 115.0 will be the last version for Windows 7. It also said the ESR version will need to be used from this point on, in order to keep receiving updates until September 2024. Will this switch occur automatically for the next update, or does the ESR version need to be manually installed?
ESR to firefox is the same thing LTS is for ubuntu or LTSB/LTSC for windows. They are "the same thing" to the undtrained eye, but they come from different channels. Automatic updates (if enabled, if any) is intended normally for the older LTS/ESR/LTSC release. In short, if you have a normal release, you must uninstall it (retaining the profile) and install the ESR manually.
I guessed I will need to manually install the ESR version, but I was not sure. Thanks for your reply.
Probably not. I suspect that you will be automatically moved to ESR when v116 will be released. Similar situation happened with Windows XP version in the past.
The "real" opera is way older than 2013. the last true version is 11-12 around 2011. after that everything was redesigned the engine is also changed. the best option is to switch to linux. the other real option is to use different browser that is still supported. its crazy that support is dropping back and forth on 7 when security updates are still produced on some variants of the os.
The switch from presto to chromium was announced in 12 February 2013, the first rudimentary version of Opium happened few months later (28 May 2013) Until then Opera 12 was still a supported product. After that point Opera 12.15 - 12.16 - 12.17 were released given Opium was still in beta status. Opera 12.18 with minor updates to some SSL components was released (for windows only) in 2016. That said we can debate about what "the last true version" means. Jon (the Opera co-founder) obviously considers Opera 11 the last true one, as Opera 12 was released when he was already forced out the company he founded, but there the technical considerations are (understandably) mixed with personal ones. And for the record the great Presto engine still lives (at least the last time I checked) it's the engine is used on the server side rendering used by OperaMini (which I consider one of the most important SW ever, given it allowed practically everyone to use the Mobile internet, no matter the power of the device, no matter the bandwidth available, ages before Android and the useless first Iphones were released.)
