      Edit: It also goes without saying that it is not good practice to make online transactions on Windows 7 these days either but I do recommend dualbooting Linux Mint if you ever need something else to work with and still want to keep Windows 7.

    Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) does provide versions that work on Win7 and provide most of the features of the updated version for Win10. It does appear that FF-ESR will not be updated for Win7 anymore, but the current version is fully compatible with HTML 5.0, latest SSL / security features. Microsoft Edge is also available for Win7 (not updated anymore) and since it is based on the Chromium Engine, it is a viable replacement for Google Chrome and works quite well!

I am also happy to say that I don't care how obsolete Windows 7 is either and it should be fine as long as you are using common sense.
