For a typical consumer point of view who only has to worry about a couple of computers it might not be a big deal but for people on a budget and the millions of computers in various businesses large and small still using older computers, upgrading hardware and software is not a trivial issue. If at all, this is only a temporary solution.Īctually it is something taking into consideration there are still a very large number of computer systems out there that are a) 32-bit only and b) still running WinXP and Vista. This is not bad advise from a security point of view, but you could use sandboxing or virtualization software to improve security. Switching to those browsers is a bigger change however than switching to a Chromium-based version as the interface differs more and most extensions are likely also not available as ports. Firefox or Pale Moon support these unsupported operating systems. Switch to a non-Chromium-based browser.The advantage of running a Chromium-based browser is that extensions will work for the most part, and that the technology behind the browser and its functionality is similar to Chrome. Both Vivaldi and Opera are based on Chromium and will continue to support the dropped operating systems. Switch to a Chromium-based web browser that is not Google Chrome.You have a couple of options if you don't want to upgrade to a newer operating system or buy a new computer. If your computer is not able to support these newer operating systems, you may want to consider investing in a modern computer, Mac or Chromebook. Google recommends that Windows users upgrade to Windows 10, Mac OS X users to OS X El Capitain, and Linux users to 64-bit versions of Linux.Īnd if the computers cannot run those operating system versions, Google recommends investing in a modern computer, Mac or Chromebook. A FAQ on the Google Chrome Help forum is rather blunt when it comes to suggestions.
