    As we announced two more years of critical security patches for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2, users started asking how they could keep browsing web sites securely given that all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi) would lose support on these Windows versions in January 2023. In addition, even on Windows Server 2012, Edge will stop getting official security updates from Microsoft in January, although the server itself is still supported until October this year – which came as quite a surprise to many organizations.
    Microsoft Edge version 109, deployed in the week of January 12, will therefore remain the last Edge version on all these Windows systems, and it will not get any security patches anymore.

    … security patches from Microsoft, that is…

    We at 0patch have decided to security-adopt Edge version 109 and provide critical security patches for it so you can keep using Windows 7, Server 2008 R2 with Edge in a secure way. With 0patch, you’ll also be able to keep using Windows Server 2012 (non-R2 or R2) with Edge securely until their end of official support by Microsoft in October 2023.
