Update day today for Google Chrome: the stable channel has in fact reached version 50 of the browser for Windows, OS X and Linux, bringing with it a decent list of bugfixes and a good amount of improvements, in addition to the refinement of the mechanism preload which will make web pages load faster.
For Linux, in particular, Google Chrome 50 introduces the full compatibility with Wayland display server.
After making a short list of browser news - a list that you can consult directly on this page - let's get to the point: after numerous references and as many hesitations, starting from this version Google's browser says goodbye to old operating systems for good.
Specifically, Google Chrome 50 it will not be available on Windows XP (out of support for about two years), Windows Vista (in the last year of extended support but used by very few users now) and on OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 (no longer supported by Apple).
Although those in possession of these operating systems will still be able to use Google Chrome, we strongly discourage you from doing so since outdated programs end up being a vector of vulnerabilities and potential cyber attacks.
If you really can't update your operating system, what do you do we absolutely recommend to do seen thehuge security risk, you will be able to migrate to a browser that (still) receives constant updates on outdated platforms - for example Firefox.
