Chrome will stop supporting XP, Vista and early OS X this year

It seems like Google is looking to do a little spring cleaning. In an announcement on the official Google Chrome blog, the company noted that it will no longer support browsers on Windows XP, Vista and Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 devices. Google had alluded to the discontinuation of support back in April and reasoned that these older — and in XP’s case, almost prehistoric — operating systems can no longer offer the crucial security updates the web browser needs to keep malware at bay. This means that older operating systems running Chrome browsers will still be fully operational, though they won’t be eligible for new updates and features.
