In PSA: How to keep using adblockers on Chrome and ChromiumTell HN: Chromium forks for legacy platforms are disappearing from GitHub
This is really strange!
Chromium Legacy is an up-to-date fork of Chromium which supports back to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion (from 2011). On Friday, the developer's Github account and all of his repositories suddenly disappeared. The links now return 404 errors.

https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy
Today, the same thing happened to Supermium, an equivalent project for Windows which supports back to XP. To my knowledge, the developers of Chromium Legacy and Supermium are wholly unaffiliated.

Does anyone happen to know what the heck is going on? It's a little scary and makes me not want to trust GitHub. I don't see anything relevant in GitHub's repository of DMCA notices[1], and I'm having trouble coming up with legal grounds on which such a takedown

2 points · Open discussionThis is true for Windows. Free software has helped keep operating systems like Windows XP and 7 still modern and secure, and many applications have been patched to work on these older systems. Here is for instance a port of Firefox Quantum to XP and a fork of Chromium maintaining support for 7, but I like to stick to the last Ungoogled Chromium version because I hate Google.
