Google browser is a very good one for many reasons, such as its cross-platformity. For example, you can run Ubuntu Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android and use the same Chrome web browser on all of these operating systems. Thanks to cloud data synchronization, you can even have a seamless experience.
However, with the upcoming release of Google Chrome 110, the supported operating systems will be reduced by two. That is, early next year, Google will abandon support for its web browsers in Windows 7 and 8.1. In other words, if you use Microsoft 's desktop operating system, you will need to run at least Windows 10 or 11.
" With the release of Chrome 110 (tentatively scheduled for February 7, 2023), we will officially end support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. You need to make sure your device is running Windows 10 or later to continue receiving future Chrome version updates. This coincides with Microsoft's extension support for Windows 7 ESU and Windows 8.1 on January 10, 2023," explained James Abercrombia, support manager for Google Chrome.
Abercrombia added: "Old versions of Chrome will continue to work, but no further updates will be issued for users of these operating systems. If you are currently using Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, we encourage you to move to supported Windows versions by that date to ensure you continue to receive the latest security updates and Chrome features."
continues to use unsupported Google browser versions on Windows 7 and 8.1, technically OK, but it will be less wise to behave, and these users will no longer receive updates and patches to prevent vulnerabilities, making them vulnerable to hacking, and there is really no reason to still use Windows 7 or 8.1 in 2023 anyway.
