I've obviously tried and throws a dll error. Hence why I'm asking if there's a way of actually running Chromium 110+ on Windows 7. Please note I didn't say Chrome only; I assume that basically any Chromium-based browser can be started once Chromium itself is somehow made/forced to run on Win 7. I personally would love to have a Chromium 110-based Brave browser running on my PC.
Firefox 3.5 was the last great Firefox update. You could install Foxkeh and have an adorable little fox running as you loaded pages. Chrome then did the constant updates thing and since then it's been a sh** show
Neither SlimJet nor Vivaldi will integrate Chromium 110+ support for Windows 7. And LibreWolf is not a Chromium-based browser. I'll keep asking: is there anyone with a solution for actually running Chromium 110 on Win 7?
Indeed. Google ruins everything it touches. Browsers use to have small disk footprint before Chromium came along. I remember Opera use to take merely 80 MB's of disk space before it migrated to Chromium. And what's with the frequent updates ? how many vulnerabilities and bugs are there that needs to be constantly fixed ?
I wouldn't want to argue, but browsers have become very complex pieces of software that need/want to keep up with the latest JavaScript, CSS, HTML etc. Also let's not forget that they save passwords and login data, not to mention cookies, which is a huge can of worms in an of itself. Most websites use cookies pretty heavily, so a browser has to deal with them. Due to so many changing parameters, it can get difficult to keep up (from the point of view of browser developers). And yes, I understand your point for users that browse a little bit here and there, but what about web developers or power users? They usually work with the browser's developer tools on a constant basis... so that also needs to be as up-to-date and functional as possible... Just my 2 cents.
Softpedia, FileHorse, Comss: Yandex browser (and it is Chromium based) works on Win7+. Latest version is 23.1.4. Don't know is this true, or they're just lazy to change printed specs if not.
Thanks for the info, I've checked everywhere and I am not able to find the actual Chromium version being used in the latest Yandex Browser. I've searched for release notes, for changelog, for version history and other terms, but that information is simply not disclosed...
Nowadays choosing betwen Opera, Yandex, Chrome, or edge. Means choosing if you prefer being spied by russians, chinese or americans. Yet another reason to use vivaldi, which is built by a small and trusted Norwegian company, the same people who invented the real Opera based on the presto engine, the same people who invented practically any feature you can find in any modern browser, starting from tabs (now ubiquitus), online sicronizzation, zoommable pages, mouseless navigation, sticky tabs, and so on. Just think to anything that makes the navigation pleasurable, it was Opera work, then cloned sooner or later by anyone else.
Vivaldi 5.6 is Chromium 109-based and will never be updated further to Chromium 110+ on Windows 7, see my last post on page 6 https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/browser-support-for-windows-7.86383/page-6#post-1779174
@acer-5100 you seem to be angry or something. Chrome is not my beloved browser, on the contrary. It is Brave, OK? And let's agree to disagree... I might just build one myself.
Last time I checked my mood wasn't the topic of this thread. So, I replied to your arguments, either reply to my points or just wait patiently for other opinions. The old trick of going personal when in short of arguments is so worn and outdated...
You just seemed aggressive and too argumentative to me, without really making your point. But I guess that's what forums are for, right? Anyway, everything's cool, no worries.
