Chrome Quietly Dorps Support Mavericks Mac OS X 10

Specifically, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion, and 10.8 Mountain Lion will be discontinued.

This will mark the end for Windows XP, which Microsoft discontinued all but paid extended support for in April 2014.

Google had originally planned to end Chromes support for XP on that date, but it was pushed back twice.

On Macs, Apple will generally only support the last three systems released.

As of the time of this writing, Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks is the oldest system still supported.

Alongside cutting off support for the NPAPI framework to run plugins such as Java, this shows a desire by Google to completely cut out legacy code and support from Chrome.

Chrome 46 was released to users of all the major platforms last month.

The only surprising one is Vista, as Microsoft is supporting it until 2017.

Some sites use a lot of Javascript, which is where the incompatibilities usually start.

Platforms such as jQuery are really good about testing for all different browsers but some lazy coders who use Chrome only test against their own preferred browser.

So Safari (which Ive tried numerous times and still use a bit but have never warmed up to actually liking it) simply cant meet my needs.

Firefox has kept up with most of the improvements the others have (though still seems to depend on Flash, alas, which is where most of the few problems I have with it crop up), have some of their own, and while its a memory hog, it still only spawns one process (plus one for Flash - which I frequently kill to keep things running smoothly).

Chrome sets up any number of them and so you can never tell how much Ram its eating in total..and spawns a new window for every link on Android (which arent even identified as Chrome in the all open apps view), while FF just has one where the tab count, close tabs and other navigation controls are right at hand.

Also, I liked Chrome in the beginning, but it now seems SO bloated..and cutting off support for Mountain Lion and Vista seems premature.

Heres what you can expect to see coming to Apples flagship wearable on September 15.
