UPDATED ON: 2023-02-20 Note is totally rewritten to match 2023 reality.
Today it is not an easy task to do. There are plenty browsers out there. “So, what is the problem?” you may ask. Most of them are based upon google chrome. This means that all of them are dialing back to google to share your private data. That’s the main problem.
Here is my personal list of browsers that I use in a daily workflow on Windows machine: Main surfer: [Iceweasel 110]
► replaced IceCat For visiting geo-restricted sites: [TorBrowser 12.
UPDATED ON: 2023-08-12 Added microsoft hosts, fixed errors. If you have any suggestions or I’ve missed something [please drop me a line]

Just a simple list of the most important services of Windows 7.
Whatever happens - don’t disable them.
Services are programs, which are automatically loading into memory of your computer during start-up time.
Services are always hanging around in computer’s RAM in background mode. Alternative name: resident programs.
That is why it is so important to cut most of them to free valuable memory up for your personal applications.
Some time ago, I had a VERY LONG post with detailed comparisons on ugly blogger.
But after I was banned and totally de-platformed from g services I’ve lost all text material of the article.
Don’t have time to revive all stuff completely.
The best thing, which i can do for you is to share archive with all test materials:
pictures in RAW & jpg formats.
Since Firefox v3.x the browser is capable of managing color profiles like sRGB & AdobeRGB.
When a browser doesn’t support color management or it has been badly implemented, images won’t show up right.

UPDATED ON: 2022-05-17 Added latest AIDA64 FPU benchmark to show supremacy over 12900K
UPDATED ON: 2022-05-04 This is the most powerful configuration, which runs Windows 7 without any issues or side effects. Threadripper 3XXX is possible, but micro freezes and stuttering are present, so it is not a viable option for smooth experience.
UPDATED ON: 2021-08-19 Added some benchmarks for more clearness.
Internet is swarming with [amateurish articles about “incompatibility”]
of modern hardware with legacy Windows 7 operating system.
Just want to make a super quick note on neat browsers for legacy operating systems. There is not so much choice for such vintage OS these days.
There are two of last Mohicans. K-Meleon & MyPal.
K-Meleon is way more lightweight and will be good for slow puters. There is even a Windows 98 version.
While MyPal will bring up more modern web compatibility, but of course it is tad slower than K-Meleon.
