Now you can run the latest Google Chrome on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.x. Note: While the current latest version of Google Chrome (50.0.2661.94) is running fine for me under OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5, this does't mean that future versions will run without issue on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5, and therefore this method will become worthless. Google is ending Chrome support for OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 in April 2016 Posted by Evan Selleck on Nov 10, 2015 in Google For anyone out there that has clung onto some older versions of OS X 10.x, for whatever reason, and use Google’s Chrome as their main browser, some big changes are coming early 2016.

Anyone know a solution for Chrome on OS X? Centrify for Mac will be used to authenticate to the (Windows 2008 R2 ActiveDirectory) network via CAC. There is a proxy setup, but it gets bypassed for local intranet sites, so I don't think it is playing a role.

Google has officially announced it will stop releasing new versions and security updates for its Chrome browser for older operating systems like Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X versions 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

The cut-off date is April 2016, after which Chrome will continue to work as usual, but users will be left to fend off malware, bugs, and other security issues on their own.

Google's explained its decision by the fact that both Microsoft and Apple have stopped actively supporting the aforementioned operating systems.

'We strongly encourage users on older, unsupported platforms such as Windows XP to update to a supported, secure operating system,' said Google's Marc Pawliger, director of Engineering. 'Such older platforms are missing critical security updates and have a greater potential to be infected by viruses and malware.'

Google already delayed the initial XP-Chrome cut-off date back in April

Google initially planned to put Chrome for XP into an EOL phase in April 2015, but later changed its mind because the operating system still had a solid market share.

According to recent statistics released for the month of October, Windows XP usage is at 11.86%, still the world's second most used OS. Back in April 2015, XP's market share was 15.93%.

While the latest versions of Chrome will probably break in XP, the current Chrome releases are still some of the most modern Web browsers supported on XP, since Microsoft only provides support for IE8.

Mozilla has yet to announce a cut-off date for Firefox on XP.

On the other side, Mac users expected Chrome support to be dropped for older Mac OS X versions. This is because Google was generally in sync with Apple's default strategy of only supporting the three most recent OS X versions. You won't hear too many complaints from OS X users since they usually keep their operating systems up to date.
