Use These Browsers on Windows 7 Instead of Google Chrome!

 

If you're still using Windows 7 and you're experiencing difficulties installing Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, I'm here to introduce you to two alternative browsers. Both of these options are still supported on Windows 7 and offer a seamless browsing experience.

I also have a video version of this post if you're interested:

Issues with Current Browsers on Windows 7

When attempting to install Chrome on Windows 7, you'll find that your device won't receive updates because Chrome is no longer supported on this OS. Similarly, Mozilla Firefox has discontinued support for Windows 8.1 and below, which includes Windows 7.

Alternative Browser Options

Installing Thorium as a Chrome Replacement

Thorium is an excellent alternative if you're seeking a browser similar to Google Chrome. To download Thorium:

1. Visit the webpage thorium.rocks
2. Scroll down and click on the Windows 7 link to navigate to the download section.
3. You'll find various utilities and updates for Windows 7 that are useful post-2019.
4. Click on the "Thorium releases for Windows 7" link, which will direct you to the GitHub page.
5. Depending on your Windows 7 update level, select either the AVX2 mini-installer or the AVX mini-installer.
   - For older versions of Windows 7, you might need to opt for the Windows XP 64-bit or 32-bit versions.
6. After clicking on your selected installer, choose 'Save' to download and 'Run' to install Thorium.
7. Once installed, you can sign into your Google account to sync your Chrome bookmarks and data with Thorium, or skip this step to start browsing immediately.

Installing Floorp as a Firefox Replacement

For those looking for a Firefox alternative, Floorp is a great choice:

1. Search for "Floorp GitHub releases" on Google.
2. On the GitHub releases page, choose the appropriate installer for your system (64-bit or 32-bit).
3. Click on 'Save' to download the installer and 'Run' to begin the installation.
4. Follow the installation prompts and click 'Finish' to launch the Floe browser.
5. Like Thorium, Floe is compatible with older versions of Windows and will allow you to access sites like Gmail without compatibility issues.

Conclusion

For Windows 7 users, Thorium and Floorp provide viable alternatives to Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, respectively. By following the steps outlined above, you can install these browsers and enjoy a modern web browsing experience without upgrading your operating system. Remember to try both browsers to see which one suits your preferences better. If you found this guide helpful, please like and follow for more tips.
