Earlier this year, Google announced that it would be supporting older desktop OS’s for Chrome for the remainder of 2015, but not beyond the end of the year. Today, the tech supergiant announced that after April 2016, the company would no longer be offering any support for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8. The browser will still function on these operating systems, but there will be no security updates or fixes of any kind after April.
If you’re still using one of the ancient operating systems, Chrome’s lack of support is the least of your problems. Google strongly encourages you to update your OS to a more recent version, and I do too. Windows XP turned 14 this year, meaning it was released when Boy Bands were king and Friends was still on air. If you’re running Windows XP still, do yourself a favor and get an update. You’ll get Chrome support, and you’ll also have an OS made in this decade.
