Корпорация Google сделала то, что обещала уже давно — прекратила поддержку старых операционных систем Windows и OS X в новой версии своего браузера Chrome. Прекращение поддержки означает невозможность получения обновлений для пользователей ОС Windows XP, Windows Vista, OS X Snow Leopard, OS X Lion и OS X Mountain Lion. Для них последняя версия Chrome — 49-я. Старые версии браузера работать будут и на этих версиях ОС, но вот обновления безопасности пользователи получать уже не будут. Нет гарантии и того, что на устаревших версиях Chrome в дальнейшем будет работать аутентификация для сервисов Google.

О том, что в 2016 году прекращается поддержка указанных операционных систем корпорация Google объявила еще в апреле 2015 года, то есть год назад. При этом прекращение поддержки старых версий ОС Windows и OS X планировалось еще в конце прошлого года, но затем в Google приняли решение продлить поддержку операционных систем до апреля 2016 года.

Причина случившегося — то, что и сами производители этих ОС их больше не поддерживают (с некоторыми исключениями, поскольку для Windows Vista обновления безопасности все же еще выпускаются).

Если хочется обновляться, есть два решения проблемы. Первое — обновить ОС, что логично. Второе — установить Firefox 45, который получает обновления под Windows XP и OS X 10.6, либо Opera, также работающий под XP и OS X 10.7.

Что касается обновлений в новой версии Chrome, то их довольно много. Главное новшество касается push-уведомлений. Так, сейчас при помощи этих уведомлений производится не только оповещение пользователей, становится возможным и взаимодействие с ними посредством диалоговых окон. Кроме того, веб-сайты теперь смогут сопровождать свои сообщения вибрацией либо звуком.

Появилась и еще одна интересная функция — декларативная предзагрузка, которая позволяет скачать объемный контент для того, чтобы пользователь не ожидал полной загрузки содержимого страницы длительного времени. Такой тип загрузки ресурсов разработчик может обеспечить, добавив атрибут link rel=«preload» в HTML-коде.

Google Chrome is a freeware web browser developed by Google LLC. The development process is split into different «release channels», each working on a build in a separate stage of development. Chrome provides four channels: Stable, Beta, Dev, and Canary. Chrome is updated every two to three weeks on the stable builds for minor releases and every four weeks for major releases.[1]

Привет, друзья. Многие из вас являются почитателями рубрики сайта «Выживаем на слабом ПК», и, увы, почитают её вынужденно. Относительно недавно в комментариях меня просили сделать обзор браузеров, которые в наше время ещё работают с Windows XP. Что же, давайте поговорим на эту тему. Я подобрал 6 толковых браузеров, которые можно использовать в Windows XP состоянием на конец 2020 года и в 2021 году. Увы, среди популярных браузеров очень немногие соглашаются работать с WinXP в своих актуальных версиях. С ней работают, как правило, устаревшие версии браузеров. Но в любом случае это лучше, чем устаревший Internet Explorer 7, который есть в штате Windows XP. Однако я всё же нашёл браузер, который с нашей старушкой работает в своей актуальной версии, причём это не мёртвый веб-обозреватель, а активно развиваемый. И его мы оставим на конец обзора в качестве вишенки на торте. Давайте приступим.

Браузеры для Windows XP 2021

Windows XP – культовая операционная система 2000-х, выпущена в 2001 году, её расширенная поддержка компанией Microsoft закончилась в 2014 году. Система на сегодняшний день морально и технологически устаревшая, совместима с редкими современными программными продуктами. Windows XP неспеша отправляется на свалку истории IT: сегодня её доля на рынке всех десктопных операционных систем занимает 1,2%, это примерно вдвое меньше непопулярной Linux с её 2,34% рынка. Сколь бы мал ни был процент WinXP, но с ней всё ещё работают. И один из важнейших вопросов, возникающий при работе с ней – какой браузер использовать. С ней не работает Google Chrome и многие другие современные браузеры.

А какие же работают? Дабы выяснить это, дабы проверить как минимум сносность работы таких браузеров, я обзавёлся тестовой Windows XP SP3 от 2002 года.

С ней поставляется штатный браузер Internet Explorer 7 от 2006 года, это дичайшая архаика — работает медленно и топорно, сёрфить в нём практически невозможно, большая часть веб-страниц открывается с ошибками.

Браузер нужно срочно менять. На какой?

Opera

Браузер Opera на базе Chromium может работать в WinXP в своей замороженной версии 36 от 2016 года. Тогда как актуальной на момент написания статьи версией Оперы является 72.    

Opera 36 – это довольно простенький браузер, не напичканный, как сейчас в своей актуальной версии, функционалом, порой ненужным. Поэтому очень шустрый, при этом эффектный. У Opera красивая стартовая страница с визуальными закладками. При желании тему оформления можно сменить, более того, даже внедрить из магазина Оперы анимированную тему оформления. И, например, порой наблюдать безмятежные колыхания волн у водопада.

Браузер работает с расширениями из своего магазина. В числе его штатных функций: режим сжатия веб-страниц Opera Turbo, новостная лента, удобная среда хранения закладок, жесты мышью. Сервис синхронизации в Opera 36, увы, не работает.

Mozilla Firefox 

Существуя для современных Windows в версии 82 и на новом движке Quantum, для WinXP Mozilla Firefox может предложить только свою старую версию 52 от 2017 года, когда веб-обозреватель работал ещё на старом движке Gecko.

Старый ОгнеЛис на базе Gecko – не лучший браузер в плане производительности. И его большая проблема заключается в том, что расширения старого формата, написанные под движок Gecko, упразднены. В магазине Firefox сегодня представлены расширения только под Quantum. Из хороших сторон Firefox 52 – ряд годных штатных функций. Это мультипоиск, режим чтения, интегрированный Pocket, RSS-подписки на панели закладок. И самое примечательное, что работает сервис синхронизации.

SeaMonkey

Несмотря на то, что у SeaMonkey устаревший дизайн середины 2000-х и присутствуют функции из далёкого прошлого типа IRC-чата, это активно поддерживаемый разработчиками проект. И, казалось бы, браузер с ретро-концептом должен работать с Windows XP, но нет, у него также с этой системой сотрудничает только замороженная устаревшая версия 2.49.5 от 2019 года. Современная от неё ушла недалеко, ныне актуальна версия браузера 2.53.4. При этом скачивать SeaMonkey для WinXP нужно на

специальной странице

. Сайт этого браузера не распознаёт операционную систему, с которой на него зашли, и автоматически не предлагает инсталлятор для нужной системы.

SeaMonkey – это браузер на базе движка ОгнеЛиса Gecko, но глубоко ушедший в свою индивидуальную разработку. И это не просто браузер, а платформа с веб-компонентами: в состав SeaMonkey входят почтовый клиент, RSS-ридер, адресная книга, IRC-чат. Браузер позиционируется как решение для слабых компьютерных устройств. У SeaMonkey свой отдельный магазин расширений.

SRWare Iron

SRWare Iron — один из клонов Google Chrome. Внешне являет собой мало кастомизироанную платформу Chromium, идея браузера в другом – защита пользователей от слежения в Интернете. В этом плане код Chromium существенно изменён, из него удалены так называемые шпионские функции. SRWare Iron – живой браузер, активно развиваемый, идёт в ногу с развитием Chromium, отставая от Chrome всего лишь на одну версию. Тогда как для современных операционных систем доступна версия SRWare Iron 85, для Windows XP предлагается устаревшая 49 от 2016 года – та, в которой и сам Google Chrome доступен для XP.

Функционально же SRWare Iron 49 – это Chrome, каким он был в 2016 году. Поддерживаются расширения из магазина Chrome, совместимые с 49-й версией.

Google Chrome 49

И раз уж заговорили о Google Chrome, о его версии 49 – последней версии, совместимой с Windows XP, стоит упомянуть, что можно использовать непосредственно Chrome 49.  Только эту версию Chrome нужно искать в портативной сборке на торрент-трекерах или специализированных сайтах, где хранятся старые версии программ.

Maxthon

Ну и, наконец, друзья, обещанная вишенка на торте – браузер Maxthon, разработчики которого являются теми самыми одними из немногих, кто в наше время адаптирует свои программные продукты под Windows XP. Для этой системы браузер существует в своей актуальной версии.

Сам же браузер концептуальный, активно развиваемый. Его концепт – облачность, работа по типу интернет-мессенджеров с синхронизацией пользовательских данных. Но при желании с браузером можно работать в гостевом режиме без авторизации. Maxthon использует два движка – главный Blink и вторичный Trident, на который при необходимости можно переключать веб-страницы. Браузер поддерживает темы оформления, фоновые обои, включая анимированные, у него есть функциональная боковая панель. И у него масса встроенных функций – почтовый сервис, менеджер паролей, ночной режим для защиты зрения в темноте, режим чтения, мультипоиск, RSS-ридер, скриншотер, снифер ресурсов, жесты мышью, заметки.

Для браузера существует свой магазин расширений. Можете почитать об этом браузере в отдельной статье сайта «Обзор браузера Maxthon MX5».

Mypal

Ещё один браузер с поддержкой Windows XP – Mypal. Базируется на Pale Moon, по сути, являет собой точный клон этого браузера. Сама же «бледная луна» доступна для Windows начиная с версии 7. Она является ответвлением Mozilla Firefox на старом движке Gecko с интерфейсом времён 2000-х годов. У Mypal движок Firefox 68.0 и поддержка расширений Firefox старого формата. Mypal – это в принципе проект ради Windows XP, и это проект энтузиастов с GitHub, которые поддерживают браузер, обновляют, реализуют технологии безопасности и т.п. Огромный минус Mypal – отсутствие изначальной поддержки русского языка и волокита с русификацией. Но в сети есть мануалы по русификации Mypal, так что при должном стремлении это не составит проблем.


Вот такие дела, друзья. Если у вас есть что добавить, пишите в комментариях. Возможно, вы знаете какие ещё годные браузеры для Windows XP 2021, т.е. которые работают с этой системой сейчас, ну и предполагается, что будут работать какое-то время в недалёком будущем.
