    You mean there’s not still a team of developers working full time to make sure your 8 year old hardware is still getting software/security parity? Color me shocked. Shocked I say! They should support your hardware for free forever! How dare they advance in such a way that it’s not possible for my 8 year old hardware to run the exact same as modern hardware that’s been updated and iterated hundreds of times since then.

      Today I’ll update my Chrome version in my 2013 media box desktop running Debian in honour of your terribly written comment!

      I have 11 years old phone that still gets updates. For free. And all my computers will have updates for ever. For free.

      Google can choose to not update the operating system but I don’t see why the browser is left behind.

      Google supported chrome on windows 7 longer than Microsoft itself, they can’t do it on their own Linux distro?
