So official support for 10.8 ended when 10.11 El Capitan was released, and 10.6 and 10.7 have long been put to rest by Apple. On the Mac side of things, Apple usually supports its three newest operating systems. Google then extended the support to " at least April 2015," then all of 2015, and now the browser is going to hang around for the next five months. Chrome support for XP was originally stated to end along with Microsoft's support in April 2014. Chrome browsers on those operating systems will continue to work, but they will stop getting updates from Google.įor Windows XP, this is yet another stay of execution from Google, mirroring Microsoft's continually extended support for the OS that just won't die. Google's official Chrome Blog announced that it will be ending support for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 in April 2016. 154 m Portable for older computers without the annoying message.If you use Chrome on an older operating system, your browser could stop getting updates in just a few months. So I searched the browser page HTML source (right click to View Source) to find the direct download link:Ĥ) After downloading the 1.34MB installer above, execute it and let the 35,974KB download complete, install and you will have a working copy of Google Chrome 33. Clicking on the old link gives you a robots.txt message. If you go to their website they only have the current version.Ģ) However, if you pull up the archived page from April 3, you can find the old browser.ģ) But, it’s not that easy. But since Google Portable does not update itself, it is part of the solution. This will not help you with newer versions of Chrome, but it prevents the message from appearing.ġ) There is nowhere on the web you can download an old version of regular Google Chrome, I already tried. This thread also seems to corroborate my suspicion.įollow my information here below. It’s also the only machine that coincidentally lacks SSE2 instructions (all older pre AMD 64 processors lack SSE2). However, on one AMD Athlon XP machine, the message appeared. On many computers I have worked on with Windows XP, I have not received the message. This is believed to be due to the lack of SSE2 instructions in some older processors.
When using an old computer with Google Chrome 34 or later, you may receive a message that states “This computer will soon stop receiving Google Chrome Updates because its hardware is no longer supported”.
