Google Chrome is the most used browser on the planet at the moment, and for hundreds of millions of people there is an announcement that should bring them some peace, at least theoretically. Although Microsoft will end support for Windows 7 next week, it seems that Google Chrome will continue to be updated for this version for another 18 months, that is, another year and a half, which is good news.
Google Chrome will be able to be used by the hundreds of millions of Windows 7 users without problems until the middle of 2021, which will at least guarantee to a good extent that surfing the Internet will be safe. Of course, Google recommends installing the latest versions of operating systems and applications, but in the case of Google Chrome, it is about extended support because many people will continue to use Windows 7.
Google Chrome: IMPORTANT Announcement for HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of People
Google Chrome will continue to offer users the security features that are already implemented in the version available for Windows 10, and that won't change anytime soon for anyone. Moreover, including the functions launched last month for Google Chrome that are meant to tell us if our passwords have been compromised, they will continue to be offered to users, so that support will continue to be extended.
"So if you haven't started moving to Windows 10 yet, or even if your organization is halfway through the migration, you can still benefit from Chrome's enterprise capabilities."
Google Chrome is an extremely important browser for Google, and the decision to offer extended support until 2021 is also based on the company's desire to maintain the number of users at as high a level as possible. This means that Windows 7 will remain an important operating system, especially since it is very close to Windows 10 in terms of the number of users, so Google Chrome would lose a lot of people if support were stopped.
Google Chrome relies a good part of its growth on the extensive support it offers for various operating systems, and this strategy will not disappear anytime soon.
