A significant change is coming to the popular Google Chrome browser. Google has decided to end Chrome support for two versions of Windows. These include the venerable Windows XP as well as Windows Vista.
Using outdated Chrome versions is always a bad idea. With updates, security flaws and bugs are getting fixed. An outdated browser is a very high risk. It can become the primary source for viruses and malware infecting your PC.
It is quite surprising though that Windows Vista is also not being supported by Google Chrome's developers. This can be because this OS had many performance issues and was much maligned. Windows Vista has very few users even though end of support for Windows Vista will happen in 2017.
What do you think about this move? Is anyone from our readers still using Google Chrome on Windows XP or Windows Vista?

I’m still using Vista – what can I do if Google Chrome won’t be supported for Vista (besides get a new computer)?
Well, try Chromium first.
If they also will remove Vista support from Chromium, then go on Firefox.
