The developers of 0patch have decided to provide the critical security patches for Edge version 109, so that it can safely continue to use on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 / R2. Kolsek has made the details public in this blog post.
Now Mitja Kolsek, the founder of ACROS Security informed me a few hours ago that they plan to secure Microsoft Edge even after its support ends on Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008/R2 and Windows Server 2012/R2. Microsoft Edge version 109 (to be deployed next week), will therefore be the last Edge version to run on all these Windows systems, but will no longer receive security patches. This is especially unpleasant for Windows Server 2012 R2, as that platform will continue to receive security updates until October 2023. However, Microsoft had discontinued support for the Microsoft Edge browser for Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008/R2 and Windows Server 2012/R2 as of January 2023 (see Windows 7/8.1: Google ends support in February 2023, Edge also affected and Microsoft Edge: Version 1.46 Reactivate Next button Windows 7/8.1 support ends in version 110).
I reported about this in the blog post Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 receive 0patch micropatches in 20. After all, there had been an announcement for some time that ACROS Security would secure Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for two years beyond the end of support (January 10, 2023) using 0patch micropatches.
