Can I still browse safely with Firefox Windows 7, 8 and 8.1?

How can I get the newest features of Firefox?

If you want to keep your Firefox up to date, with all the latest features and updates, you need to up-
grade your operating system to Windows 10 or higher. In some cases, Microsoft may require newer
hardware in order to support the newer operating system. After upgrading, users can easily reinstall
Firefox and keep all of their settings.

What is the latest version of Chrome?

Chrome 109 is the last version of Chrome that will support Windows 7. Chrome 110 is the first ver-
sion of Chrome that requires Windows 10 or later. You’ will need to ensure your device is running
Windows 10 or later to continue receiving future Chrome releases. This matches Microsoft's end of
support for Windows 7 ESU and Windows 8.1 extended support on January 10th, 2023.

Older versions of Chrome will continue to work, but there will be no further updates released for us-
ers on these operating systems. If you are currently on Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1, we encourage
you to move to a supported Windows version to ensure you continue to receive the latest security up-
dates and Chrome feature.
