i guess untill Google stop offering Android O/S support it will be down to app developers like yourself to make the decision of what versions will be your new base versions eg..chrome/firefox/opera etc.

Firefox Mobile is still supporting Android 4.3 with updates yet chrome has stopped…yet a new game beta came out the other day with a minimum Android SDK of 4.4.2  
so its swings and roundabouts i guess.

My Android 8/9/10/11 device just didnt hold up to the standards  
these older devices and O/S did and its currently in pieces awaiting repair dont ask.

This was the reason for My question.
