Please provide me with a recipe for chicken soup.
Uh, is this an ad? On an instance for the program being advertised? People don’t really talk like this.
Yes, it’s an ad. Try #VivaldiBrowser in Linux.
In an older OS, use #Firefox.
… Why?
I’m sorry but I do not understand your post. What do you mean by this?
They’re Chromium alright. But what do you mean by it being “obsolete”? Is there some kind of link to a news site reporting this that I missed in your post? And what does this have to do with not updating operating systems?
An OS becomes obsolete when you can’t update browsers in spite of ‘official’ support (which typically ends earlier).
All Chromium-based browsers are made obsolete at the same time.
If you can still use Firefox, your old OS still has life.

Surely that only applies to operating systems that are built around browsers, like Chrome OS. Which other OS needs a browser in order to function?

How? When? How could a FOSS project with Billions of users possibly ever become obsolete? Is this just some kind of thought experiment?
I think they mean getting online in an OS that no longer supports (or rather isn’t supported by) the latest version of chromium.
That said, going online with an outdated/unsupported OS isn’t a great idea even if Firefox does still support it.
And from what I’m seeing the latest Firefox system requirements are very similar to the Chrome requirements too.
I’m confused. Does the Firefox no more rely on syscalls, system libraries?
This is not a technical discussion. We can’t use modern Chromium including #VivaldiBrowser in out-dated OS while Firefox still works.
Other compatibility discrepancies will be minor.
Agree to disagree. I use Firefox and I don’t like it. I’m a taboholic and the tabs don’t layer. Leaving YouTube up makes it run real slow and I have to close it and open it again. Firefox always seems to be one of the browsers that’s not compatible with some websites. Every now and then I get a tab that opens, especially when I restart, telling me about some feature. And that’s just the stuff I can think of off the top of my head. Brave gets a lot of crap on this platform, but I never had any of these problems. Why do I use it? Because they all seem to suck. Chrome is just Google. It’s very secure except from the worst offender. Brave is a scam. Edge is…well Edge. Mulvad didn’t work for me because I like to come back to where I left off when I shut down and I guess that doesn’t go with it’s secure nature. It’s frustrating.
Got any other suggestions?
tabs don’t layer.
there is vertical tab support now, if that’s your thing.
Leaving YouTube up makes it run real slow
Switch to mobile website with a user agent, YT desktop is heavy even on chromium.
My suggestion is every browser is a compromise, so for all but the lightest users, we need more than one. #Firefox is unique not being Chromium.
Because Firefox is not Chromium, I can use it on old computers made obsolete. Eg:
Win 7 ends at Chrome 109.
Ubuntu 16 ends at Chrome 106.(Chromium version = Chrome version)
My Firefox is new if not the latest in those OS.
