“My long goodbye to Windows XP” (2022)
Hey, Congratulations on your upgrade to Windows 7!
Not 48 hours ago, I spoke highly of the benefits of Windows 7[1], as a user myself.
It is absolutely possible to use Windows 7 reasonably securely, if you take the appropriate precautions(again, see my comment)
> I can use the latest versions of Google Chrome
Firefox? Yes. Chrome? No.
Chromium 109 is the last version to support Windows 7. Here's the last working ungoogled variant [2].
Switch to LibreWolf[3] Firefox based browser with user.js modifications[3] pre-installed. Or if you don't trust librewolf, use Firefox and manually add the same user.js[4]
It's better for security than Chrome could ever hope to be.
Your web browser's javascript continue to be the predominant way for malware to make its entry. So just make sure to take the appropriate security precautions, as mentioned in my comment [1].
> When Firefox stopped receiving upgrades I switched to Mypal browser, an open source browser specially made for Windows XP. It is cruder than Google Chrome but does the job most of the time.
Have you tried K-Meleon on Windows XP[5]? It's Old Firefox(pre-Australis) based, and still gets updates.
Windows 7 is the last legit good Microsoft Operating System.
It truly is a wonder and a delight to use and modify.
Anyway, all the very best on your Windows 7 journey. May it serve you well.
Cheers!

ungoogled chromium harderning
I have been directly affected by it. It turns out the binaries distributed via winget on windows come from an apparently reliable source (https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases) that has even changed some browser features. I found it out when I saw a button saying 'black' instead of 'back' on a 'confirm form resubmission' dialog box. I dug deeper and reproduced it with the help of a UG dev.

I miss the days of Google Chrome being the browser for minimalists. It seems every release adds another icon we can't get rid of.
I'm using Windows version, but there's also Linux version in another repo. https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases/tag/v102.0.5005.63-6-r992738-Win64

Chromium got rid of "win11 style context menu" flag?
Consider ungoogled chromium as an alternative (it still has the win11 style menu flag!): https://github.com/macchrome/winchrome/releases

Best browser that isn’t Chrome?
I don't think most people are aware of it, but here is the automatic updater: https://github.com/iklevente-zz/ChromiumForWindows (using it for a year or so, works like a charm)

Correct link is https://github.com/iklevente-zz/ChromiumForWindows/releases
- Ungoogled-chromium on windows 10 outdated?

Firefox’s address bar has ads now, but you can disable them
This crosses into problems with the web in general, especially when some sites refuse to work on any non-Blink browser, let alone a Gecko browser with privacy tweaks. At that rate, installing ungoogled-chromium, uBlock Origin, and updater programs for both (such as ChromiumForWindows and chromium-web-store) for your average grandmother would be a good middle-ground between privacy and mainstream web usability. Maybe putting a list of advert/tracker domains in the hosts file would help too without breaking anything Grandma uses.

Is Ungoogled Chromium A Good Option
You can use https://github.com/iklevente/ChromiumForWindows (select ungoogled version) , it auto-updates like google chrome and normal browsers. It uses macchrome/winchrome files which is usually updated quickly although I'm waiting for the latest build (87.0.4280.141-1) to be complied. Otherwise you can use either edge or Chromium itself (you can get auto updates with the link above, select the chromium version) which may not be as private as ungoogled chromium but still an okay choice if you want the latest updates out all chromium based browsers.

Updating Ungoogled Chromium
For those who want a non portable version and want to install it as easy as chrome, I use https://github.com/iklevente/ChromiumForWindows (download the ungoggled version), it's more convenient than chrlauncher (since chrlauncher installs it as portable and I prefer my userdata to be in appdata)

What are some alternatives?
chrlauncher - Small and very fast portable launcher and updater for Chromium.
ungoogled-chromium - Google Chromium, sans integration with Google
CanvasBlocker - A Firefox extension to protect from being fingerprinted.
chromium-web-store - Allows adding extensions from chrome web store on ungoogled-chromium. Also adds semi-automatic extension updating.
FirefoxPWA - A tool to install, manage and use Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) in Mozilla Firefox [Moved to: https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox]
ChromiumForWindows - Chromium installer and auto updater for Windows.
chromium-legacy - Latest Chromium (≒Chrome Canary/Stable) for Mac OS X 10.7+
