So, just maybe, you could imagine a person having an up-to-date Chrome web browser running on OS X 10.11 still, to this day. Anyway, it seems to list 10.11 as the minimum for now. Maybe those special long-term support Firefox ESR versions have lower requirements, and still getting security patches, if web feature compatibility is not an issue.Ĭhrome I read also planned to switch to its own certificate store.
Where would they be getting a usable web browser in the first place? Safari, frozen in time, lacking years of advancement and security fixes, wouldn’t do.įirefox, which happens to have always carried its own set of updated trusted root certificates, and thus would not be affected by this incident, now lists 10.12 Sierra as its minimum.
An expiring root certificate has to be very low on the list of actual issues people wishing to get real use out of such an ancient system must fight continuously.
