Brave

[Still Thinking]

Opera or Brave. Still planning to try Vivaldi and Pale Moon.

Come on Windows 7 is dead. 11 years old. Get real its not a thing anymore step into the present. Most people don’t even own cars that old.

I use Vivaldi with my Win7. It is based on Opera, which is a Chromium derivative.

Watefox
Un-googled Chromium
Pale Moon

[Fai Mao]

One that works with Linux Unbutu. Easy to use and better than 7 because it does not have exploitable security issues.

Really, Win 7 is, at this point, really problematic. But, you may have issues with Win 10 on an old computer. Get Unbutu. Setup a dual boot or run Windows in a row box inside unbutu. It isn’t hard.

It’s free.

Win ping.

[doorgunner69]

Firefox most of the time.
Have Pale Moon installed but do not like the interface as much, and bookmarking is not as good for me as FF.

[upchuck]

I’m running Win7 with 0patch patches.

In the past I’ve run Opera, Slimjet, and Firefox. Now I’m running Brave with Ad Block and Ghostery. Like it real well.

[TigersEye]

I use Firefox and have no problems.

I use Firefox and it does everything I need to do.

I was going to skip your thread, but at the end you said you were still using Twitter and I just stopped by to call you a godless Commie Nazi Fascist. That buss has left the station along with FB. Go ask the Democrat Underground what Browser they use.

Just upgrade your Windows 7 machine to Windows 10 for free:

As long as the Windows 7 machine has a valid license it should still work.

[Organic Panic]

I use engineering software daily on 7. I use mozilla with third party vons and anti virus.

[dayglored]

I still have Windows 7 in VMs for non-internet back-compatibility software testing ONLY. I don't use Win7 to go browsing the internet because it's too damn dangerous and every day it gets more damn dangerous.

That said.... On the Win7 VMs, I use Brave, Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. Opera is now pretty old, and Vivaldi has replaced it, but I haven't installed Vivaldi.

I use Windows 7 on my desktop pc as my primary computer. I hate Windows 10.
It has promise but it is a mess plus spies on you.

Firefox browser as you can customize it and add ublock orgin ad blocker among many others like: Easy Screenshot, New Tab Override, Disable HTML5 Autoplay, Empty Cache Button, Print Edit WE, View Image.

You can customize and add the icons for the add-ons onto the toolbar for easy access by clicking on the 3 lines in the upper right> Customize. Just drag where you want the buttons.

Thunderbird for email. You must get the free addon called Phoenity Icons 3.0b8 as Thunderbird did an update that made all text too tiny and removed the colorful icons. Phoenity Icons 3.0b8 brings it back plus you can change the text size to what you want using the steps at the link.

Dissenter browser is very fast.

I still use Windows 7 and will continue until it dies. I use a Firefox based browser call IceDragon but haven't found any issues with others.

I'm retired now but the defense contractor I worked for would fire you if they found you using a Windows 10 pc on their network. IT was a little paranoid.

[alexander_busek]

How am I to know if I am using Windows 97 or any other particular version of Windows?

Help desks and the like are always asking such questions: Why is such basic information not more-plainly displayed* by my computer?

Regards,

*Where I can't possibly not see it?
