Either way, you would still be able to use Firefox, which “ doesn’t select arbitrary dates for ending OS support”. Google really ought to know that Vista SP2 will be supported until April 2017.
Google has announced that, from April 2016, it will stop supporting Chrome on “Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8, since these platforms are no longer actively supported by Microsoft and Apple”. Like Chrome, they all consume too many resources. Other current browsers based on Chromium include Comodo Dragon, Torch, and Opera. Vivaldi is based on the open source Chromium code and runs almost all Chrome extensions. I’ve replaced Chrome with the Vivaldi browser, which is now in beta testing. I do share your wariness of Google, but it’s easy to do without Chrome. I find it rarely crashes nowadays, though I use the Session Manager extension so I can reload tabs if the auto-reload fails. Try the current version 43 to see if you still think it’s flaky. I don’t share your view of Firefox: it’s my main browser. ( What’s the best laptop for running Minecraft?) A better browser? In its day, the Aspire 6930G was probably a very good Minecraft machine, so last week’s column will give you some useful hardware tips. You might have to go for something with an Intel Core i3-4020Y or hotter Intel Core i3-2310M or better to get a faster laptop. The problem is that if you buy a cheap Windows 10 machine with 2GB of memory, it could well be slower than your old Acer. Obviously, the P7450 loses on built-in graphics (it scores 0.0), but if you have a dedicated graphics card, that’s not a problem. In fact, CPU Boss says a single P7450 core is actually faster than an N3540 core. The P7450 processor is almost as fast as a new quad-core Pentium N3540, which is one of the best Atom-based chips of its generation (Bay Trail). Since you’re not a gamer, I can well understand why your Acer does everything you need. Reviews suggest this machine also had a dedicated graphics card that made it suitable for some gaming, so check the system info to see if you have a Nvidia 9600M GT installed. According to your email, your Acer Aspire 6930G has an Intel Core Duo P7450 processor with 4GB of memory.
