Google has announced that, there will no longer support Chrome Browser on older OS X, Windows XP and Vista.
There will be no longer updates like security holes etc.. available on Microsoft’s Windows XP and Vista, as well as Apple’s Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 devices.Google explained that these Operating systems will not be supported “since these platforms are no longer actively supported by Microsoft and Apple.”
As a note, Microsoft has committed to supporting Vista until April 2017, but Google says, “Such older platforms are missing critical security updates and have a greater potential to be infected by viruses and malware.”
Chrome will still be fully functional after Google ends support for the browser on these Operating Systems, but with no updates or security fixes incoming after April next year, Google is urging users to upgrade their operating systems.
