    USA still the best. But barely.
    That's ** up. So since I'm on W7P64 that means I have to give up Vivaldi? I mean I'm surmising Chromium is going along with this.

    Bad idea. Shows Google is firmly in Micro's camp and caters to them.

    Without a doubt, it is definitely that. There is however, a very thin ray of hope, and it is based solely on one word in the release... "likely".

    No doubt various other Chromium based browsers will continue to support Windows 7 and 8.
