It is good to see Mozilla providing support and fixing issues on devices with low-end old CPUs. The series splits between C, E, G, and Z CPU models, none of which support modern Windows versions.ĪMD targeted the “Bobcat” architecture at low-power computers, such as inexpensive laptops, “netbooks,” and embedded devices with TDP varying from 4.5 to 18W. It consists of various single and dual-core CPUs with integrated Radeon graphics. “ Bobcat” is a CPU architecture that AMD debuted ten years ago. Addresses frequent crashes experienced by users with C/E/Z-Series “Bobcat” CPUs running on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.

Firefox 95.0.2 comes with a single item in the changelog: This time, version 95.0.2 is for users with old AMD hardware that cannot run Windows 10 or 11. A couple days later, Mozilla issued another small update. Also, users reported frequent crashes during Windows shutdowns. Mozilla had to issue a minor update to fix crashes and errors when loading various domains. Unfortunately, Firefox 95 got off to a somewhat rocky start.

Besides, Firefox 95 arrived in the Microsoft Store, allowing Windows 10 and 11 users to get a popular alternative to mainstream Chromium without navigating to Firefox’s website

On December 7, 2021, Mozilla released Firefox 95 with various improvements and optimizations. I didn’t like it one bit back then, but years later I can understand they couldn’t have continued otherwise.RECOMMENDED: Click here to fix Windows issues and optimize system performance It’s no longer viable otherwise, and I believe that Opera made the right choice to transition. In today’s internet, only the world’s largest tech companies have the capacity to develop and maintain a browser engine. Blink is not such a bad engine overall, and Presto was becoming hugely outdated without the necessary resources to maintain it. Whether anything shady is happening in secret I don’t know, but I would hope that the non-Chinese devs would sound the alarm if it did.Īs for “Google’s rendering engine” – well duh, that’s old news. I don’t know why the Chinese bought Opera (though conspiracy theories abound), but as far as I can tell their entire dev team is based in Norway and Poland, and the company is still registered in Norway and subject to Norwegian laws. Very much aware of their Chinese ownership, though the company is not ‘dead and gone’ but simply a subsidiary of that opaque Chinese consortium.
