For anyone out there that has clung onto some older versions of OS X 10.x, for whatever reason, and use Google’s Chrome as their main browser, some big changes are coming early 2016.
Google on Tuesday, November 10, officially announced that it will be ending support for Chrome in some versions of Apple’s OS X desktop platform. Those versions include OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8. The end of support will come in April of 2016, according to Google’s official announcement, and that means there won’t be any future updates for the browser.
Google also notes that it will be ending support for Windows XP and Windows Vista from Microsoft:
“Today, we’re announcing the end of Chrome’s support for Windows XP, as well as Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8, since these platforms are no longer actively supported by Microsoft and Apple. Starting April 2016, Chrome will continue to function on these platforms but will no longer receive updates and security fixes. If you are still on one of these unsupported platforms, we encourage you to move to a newer operating system to ensure that you continue to receive the latest Chrome versions and features.”
Do you know anyone that this will directly impact?
