You and I are in the same boat! Or should I say program? I have exactly the same dilemma. So far, only 1 or 2 sites I’ve visited say they won’t load because of my old browser. I think the update does two things: it loads videos faster for advertising purposes (like TV) and it gives better tracking of what sites you’ve visited so that some advertising can be tailored to what you are viewing. I also think that some of the tracking is done for the government as a Big Brother thing.
In any case, I think we are fine until it gets to the point where most sites won’t load anymore.
As long as the computer continues to boot. However, over time, you will probably run into more and more web sites that won’t work with your browser.
You did not say what operating system (OS) you are using (Windows 95, 98, ME, 200, XP, Vista; Mac; Linux), or what browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.), you are using. There may be a newer browser (other than Internet Explorer, for instance) that will run on your old system.
Note that there are problems with older OS’s and browsers other than just whether they will run the programs or access the web sites you want. They are also MUCH more vulnerable to infections and other attacks. You could end up paying as much to clean off infections as it would cost you for a new PC.
You can use it as long as you want however you may experience some problems while loading a certain type of pages and will not be able to enjoy new features releases and speed.Also you will be more vulnerable to security issues.I will recommend start saving up as you will have to upgrade whether you want or now rather in the future.You can wait for next year holiday season to enjoy sales.
