Google Chrome will soon cease to function on Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1. According to sources, the tech giant will release Chrome 110 on February 7, which will be available for devices running Windows 10 and above.

“To continue getting future Chrome versions, you must guarantee that your device is running Windows 10 or later,” Google wrote.

“If you are already using Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1, we recommend you to upgrade to a supported Windows version to guarantee you continue to receive the most up-to-date security updates and Chrome features,” the tech titan stated.

According to sources, Microsoft will discontinue security updates and technical support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 on January 10, 2022. Furthermore, WebView2 support will no longer be updated.

Meanwhile, Google is working on a unique new capability that will allow users to renew media playback on various gadgets while they’re on the go. The goal of the new media playback update, which includes cross-device alerts, is to provide consumers with a better listening experience.

Customers will be able to renew media content, such as a playlist or a podcast, that they had been listening to in their car, on their phone, or on TV later, based on their experiences.
