Google has announced in an official blog post that its Chrome browser no longer supports a number of older Mac OS X versions. Google initially prepared users a few months ago that a move away from these platforms would be coming by the end of this year. Today is that day, and Google Chrome will no longer get software feature or security updates on the following Mac platforms:
Google Chrome For Old Mac Os X
Google will pull the plug for Chrome running on OS X 10.5, aka Leopard, after it releases version 21, which is currently in beta and will reach the browser's 'stable' channel sometime next month. Apr 06, 2012 Note that it’s not just Google Chrome that updates this way, other Google products on the Mac are updated through the same utility, including Google Earth. Thus if you disable the Google automatic updater, all related Google apps will no longer check for updates or update themselves, you’ll need to do it yourself. And in comparison to Apple’s Safari browser, Chrome and Firefox have been downright generous. Safari 5.1.10 was the last version for OS X 10.6, and that arrived on September 12, 2013. Safari 6.1.6, the final revision for OS X 10.7, was unleashed on August 13, 2014, and 6.2.8, the last version for OS X 10.8, a year later on August 13, 2015. Google Chrome is my favorite Web Browser and it seems we do have full control over your browsing data. This data includes your browsing and download history, cache, cookies, passwords, and saved form data. Use the Clear browsing data dialog to delete all your data or just a portion of your data, collected during a specific period of time. But there are still a bunch of files that it doesn’t. I purchased jungle scout web extension which is made specifically only for chrome. However it was not working. I contacted support and they told me its because i was running chrome version 73. And that a lot of users are reporting this problem. They advised i downgrade back to chrome v 72.0.3626.121 however i can not find anywhere to download the older version.
On the Mac side, it’s essentially everything before Apple moved to its California-inspired version names (or anything with a cat name). The company also announced that it’ll be ending support for Windows versions XP and Vista, so it’s not just older Mac users who will no longer get updates. The reason behind the end in support is simple: Apple and Microsoft don’t actively support those platforms any more, and so Chrome will no longer actively support them either. This doesn’t mean Chrome will no longer work, it just means it won’t get any more security or software updates on machines running these versions of the OSes.
If you’re still running one of the aforementioned software versions, Google encourages you to upgrade to a more modern OS, since there are now security risks (however small) attached to using them. If you’re not sure which version of Mac OS X you’re running, you can find out by simply clicking the Apple logo in your top toolbar, and clicking ‘About this Mac’.
