This operating system will be supported by the browser at least until mid 2021. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>End of support for Windows 7 <\/h2>\n<p>On 14.1.2020 Windows 7 received security updates for the last time in Extended Support. Microsoft has ended its 10-year support for the operating system. Only corporate customers have the possibility to obtain security updates until January 2023 via the paid ESU program.  <\/p>\n<p>This end of support also means that software vendors will gradually phase out support for Windows 7 beginning January 14, 2020. Many programs will continue to run on Windows 7, but browsers and e-mail clients might eventually become risky to use when there are no more updates. At the latest when a browser that is no longer updated no longer provides support for required web standards, the software can't be used anymore. <\/p>\n<h2>Chrome, Edge, and now Vivaldi<\/h2>\n<p>After Google had already promised for the Chrome browser that it would support Windows 7 until at least mid 2021 (see <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/01\/14\/chrome-support-fr-windows-7-bis-mind-mitte-2021\/\">Chrome support for Windows 7 until at least mid 2021<\/a>), Microsoft developers probably have similar plans (see <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/01\/16\/microsoft-chromium-edge-released\/\">Microsoft Chromium-Edge released<\/a>). However, I expect that the Chromium Edge could be supported until January 2023 if a sufficiently large user base for Windows 7 remains.<\/p>\n<p>Now Softpedia reports <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20220618194305\/https:\/\/news.softpedia.com\/news\/vivaldi-browser-to-support-windows-7-for-at-least-18-more-months-528846.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> that the Vivaldi developers have followed up with a similar statement. Vivaldi states that it will continue to update the Windows 7 version of its browser at least until July 2021. What will happen after that is something you have to see.
