In 2020, when Chromium-based Edge (open source), Microsoft surprised everyone by offering support for older and outdated operating systems such as Windows 7, 8 and 8.1.
That move by Microsoft appears to be coming to an end as the company prepares to stop supporting Edge on versions of Windows released before 2015. The latest version του Microsoft Edge Dev είναι πλέον διαθέσιμη μόνο για τους χρήστες των Windows 10 and 11.
It's worth noting that stable versions of Microsoft Edge, Chrome, and other Chromium-based browsers still support Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 (Chrome is asking its users to update to Windows 10 or 11).
Developers will stop offering updates to older versions of Windows early next year after Microsoft ends the program Extensive security updates for Windows 7.
As for Firefox, the Mozilla should decide when to stop updating Firefox on pre-Windows 10 systems.
