Future of Chrome on Windows 7

Chromium: 115.0.5737.0 . Release date: April 27, 2023, unsurprisingly - it doesn't work on either Win 7/8/8.1.

It is now SIX major versions above the last for these OSes, yet they're still in the main OS section of the forum.

Remember how fast Vista was dumped into the "older OS" bin.

Will the so-called "extended kernel for win 7" allow to run anything beyond ver.109 to run ?

I highly doubt that ! Anyone, confirm, thanks.

Nah not true.

As much as I respect @D.Draker for all of your work and effort, I never really got your intention, of why you want to see Windows 7 and 8.1 getting removed from the Main OS Section from MSFN. No one really complains about this. Why even "downgrade" them to that section. They cannot be compared to Vista, especially Windows 7, since they are more popular and many programs still support them. 

I got that you dont like Windows 7 and 8, but it is really not up to you to decide which OS is "worth" staying in a section or not.

From my testing, VxKex prevented the "The procedure entry point SetProcessMitigationPolicy could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll." error from appearing when opening Chromium 115 on Windows 7, but Chromium 115 still doesn't start. Adding --no-sandbox made no effect.

The highest version possible to run on Windows 7 at the moment is something around 111.0.5535~111.0.5545. Does VxKex run version 110.0.5481?

Thanks ! It's NOT intention, it's fairness and objectiveness. They ditched Vista years ago, how could you compare that state of Vista to the current times ? 

Where did I say "I want to" ? Better not even start about the "popularity". Most popular here seems to be XP and 98, a bit of Vista. Just look at the trending topics.

What was the last popular Windows 7 thread here ? Right, none. This one (mostly off-topic) can't be defined as popular,

here poor users just cry about the dead win7, without showing any actual saving (technical) suggestions.

I too get that you like Windows 8/1 that seem to run the new UN-sandboxed Chrome with the help of hacks. (but this is not what this topic about).

I wonder if version 115 works for him on Vista's extended kernel. Also, I confirm that version 115 works on 8.1.

Here, another example of off-topic questions.

Thanks for you unbreakable will , courage and bravery to spam the hell out of all technical topics at MSFN.

I'm proud of your wisdom and knowledge !

Just in case you suggest to run Chrome with NO sandbox again :

Google themselves recommend using another browser rather than using Chrome without sandbox.

So the last 109 chrome is safer to use on Windows7/8/8/1.
