Google to discontinue support for Chrome on Windows XP

Google recently announced that they will no longer support Chrome running on Windows XP after April, 2016. Chrome will still run on Windows XP, but Google won’t address any new security issues in Chrome that don’t affect newer versions of Windows.

Standard advice to anyone still running Windows XP has included avoiding Internet Explorer in favour of a browser that’s still being updated, like Chrome. After next April, Chrome will be potentially as risky to use on XP as Internet Explorer.
