I've never pegged Google as particularly giving a shit about legacy support though. They kill things out of the blue without warning or explanation.
For the most used services, legacy support is actually respected by Google.
Google Search still works on Internet Explorer 6 for Windows 98 and XP.
Wonder if that will finally change with web integrity.
don't think so
they might use that for more closed down "content" like special paid-for youtube videos or to "secure" some enterprise-google-apps-access.
And that'll never be available on the very last client out there - that's kinda important for things like web search. Google is really afraid of people starting to move away from google for that.
What I sent was an old screenshot from the web, but I confirmed it now. Google Search still works on Windows 2000 and IE5 in the middle of 2023
