• Tell HN: Chromium forks for legacy OSS are disappearing from GitHub

  Then today, the same thing happened to Supermium, an equivalent project for Windows which supports back to Windows XP. To my knowledge, the developers of Chromium Legacy and Supermium are wholly unaffiliated.

  Does anyone happen to know what the heck is going on? It's a little scary and makes me not want to trust Github. I don't see anything in Github's repository of DMCA notices[1], and I'm having trouble imagining grounds on which such a takedown could happen.

  A niche suggestion if you have all of the time: if you don’t rely on icloud services, you can actually try very old os x like mountain lion + this for browser

  If you can do it, I'd go to Lion. It added so many features such as the launchpad, the option to reopen windows when you restarted your computer, etc. It's new enough that Chromium Legacy will work, and it's what I use for my unsupported Mac OS X installs. Unlike Arctic Fox which is essentially pale moon 27 under the hood, Chromium Legacy is fully up to date as of when I'm posting this.

  Chromium Legacy goes back to OS X Lion 10.7 and is being actively worked on. It has its limitations compared to the original Chromium (see Readme): https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

• Chrome is dropping support for MacOS 10.13 and 10.14 this summer, that is too soon! A lot of Macs were high end machines when they were released, they are still capable today as mid-range machines. Eventually people will have to switch to Firefox OR Chromium-Legacy in order to use a recent browser

  I don't use GitHub much so I don't know, so how can you tell how many people are working on a project, like for Chromium Legacy: https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy
