JorgeA Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Google Will Still Support Chrome On Windows XP Until The End Of The Year Never mind the editorializing in the article about using an "antiquated and insecure" OS, the question is: what (if anything) will XP users do when, sooner or later, all major and minor browsers stop issuing updated versions for Windows XP? Will you stay on the last version that supported XP and try to increase your defenses some other way? Will you move to a more recent OS? Will you take some other measures? Just curious. --JorgeA Edited May 12, 2015 by JorgeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Pale Moon for Atom will probably go on further than Pale Moon for XP...So I don't really envisage that as a very near problem.I, for one, intend to resist as far as feasible (IMO, of course)...

submix8c Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 The latest Chrome is a (*cough*) hog, IMHO. I tried it and, nope, don't like it. Space eater, too. Now, as for PaleMoon, never tried it. I've stuck with FireFox. You might also note this.What is PM4XP?Pale Moon for Windows XP is a 3rd Party Contributed build of the popular "Firefox alternative" browser Pale Moon'Nuff said!

MrMaguire Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) I think this is great news. Obviously Windows XP still isn't dead, and it's good that Google is acknowledging that. I wonder when Firefox will leave Windows XP behind? For what it's worth, I'm still using Firefox 28.0 on multiple operating systems, which is now a whole 10 versions behind the current. Basically because it was the last version of Firefox before the Australis user interface was implemented. And also because it just sorta works with every website I visit still. On occasion I even still use Internet Explorers 7 and 8. I honestly don't think having the latest and greatest browser is all that important, as long as it supports the necessary technologies, is stable and has a good user interface.

Mcinwwl Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Simply sticking with XP until I buy myself a new PC. Everything works fine so far, suprisingly well as for a dead system :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
