helen Posted November 8, 2024 Share Posted November 8, 2024 I have a very old eepc with widnows 7 32 bit and only 2 gb of ram.google chrome is no longer supported and to watch streaming tv I have to use firefox (portable) of course it has to be updated but...streeaming goes down, I think, because the 2 gb of ram is not enough. At this point I need another very light, up-to-date browser that can play streaming without flickering Which one do you recommend I can use?

DLord Posted November 8, 2024 Share Posted November 8, 2024 (edited) @helen I remember Slimjet was the go-to solution for me back in the day, when Firefox got too bloated for my old pc. Have not tried it recently, but might be worth trying. Good luck. Edited November 8, 2024 by DLord shwescorpion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. @DLord the portable version did not work (I think because I have Windows 7) I installed the setup version and even ‘they’ no longer support Windows 7 and so the streaming website does not work either Edited November 8, 2024 by helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunk1966 Posted November 8, 2024 Share Posted November 8, 2024 Slimjet doesn't support Windows 7 anymore (latest version supporting Windows 7 was 38.0.9.0) Your best option is r3dfox https://eclipse.cx/projects/r3dfox shwescorpion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radpop Posted November 8, 2024 Share Posted November 8, 2024 Brave-like CatsXP supports Windows 7, even latest version 4.11.1 (Kernel:131.0.6778.43). Nice (portable if you like) browser but is't light enough? You've to test. https://www.catsxp.com/ shwescorpion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen Posted November 9, 2024 Author Share Posted November 9, 2024 (edited) @pc71520 ‘gb is the maximum ram my eepc can support For what I need to do spending 90/100€ is wasted money @Skunk1966 @Dereck4 Brave I use it as a third browser on this notebook (with 16 gb ddr) but on my eepc it is very slow I think it uses a lot of memory. I will try it out catsxp and r3dfox Thank´s Edited November 11, 2024 by Karlston Removed unnecessary comments in first line Skunk1966 and Dereck4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
