Although the browser is only a small part of the system experience. However, for many users, the Google Chrome browser has many convenient Add-on applications that can be used together, has convenient synchronization functions, and often adds useful features. If it suddenly stops one day or doesn’t let you use it at all, I believe everyone will be very troubled. However, Google recently suddenly thought of starting to set up a final support flag (QQ) for the old Windows system that many people love to use.

Google Chrome announces end of support for Windows 7 / 8.1 next year
Although even Microsoft has officially set a date to say goodbye to Windows 7 ESU and Windows 8.1 extended update support, it has announced that official update support will end on January 10, 2023. But for many users (no matter what will happen without security updates) who are clamoring to fight for another ten years, maybe seeing the third-party browser Google Chrome, and then confirming that it will soon end product security updates with the Windows system, and then announcing the follow-up to this policy, will really make many people suddenly worry that they will never be able to play the new features of the Google Chrome browser, right?
Google issued an article through its official Help Center titled “Sunsetting support for Windows 7 / 8.1 in early 2023“‘s post. In short, it is the sunset plan that Chrome browser will support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems.

Google Chrome will also end support for these system devices after version 110.
Members of the Google Chrome support team also mentioned in the post that users will need to confirm that the device is using Windows 10 or later system versions before they can continue to perform software updates in the Chrome browser.
Officials also added that even if relevant updates are stopped, users can still continue to use the Chrome browser on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems that have stopped updating support. But if you want to take advantage of new features or even the most basic security updates, users are encouraged to upgrade their old devices to a supported Windows system before Chrome 110 next year. It may be safer.
