Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/groups.google.com\/a\/chromium.org\/forum\/#!topic\/chromium-dev\/FoE6sL-p6oU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external nofollow\">Google has announced<\/a> that the Chrome browser for 32-bit Linux will stop receiving updates and security fixes in March 2016.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To provide the best experience for the most-used Linux versions, we will end support for Google Chrome on 32-bit Linux, Ubuntu Precise (12.04), and Debian 7 (wheezy) in early March, 2016. Chrome will continue to function on these platforms but will no longer receive updates and security fixes.<\/p>\n<p>We intend to continue supporting the 32-bit build configurations on Linux to support building Chromium.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The above statement was made by Dirk Pranke who is a software engineer at Google. As mentioned in the statement, Chromium\u00a0will continue to work for 32-bit builds of Linux. Chromium is the open source project that Google Chrome is built upon. As such, the open source browser will continue to work for 32-bit Linux, whereas the Google browser will not.<\/p>\n<p>This appears to be one of many examples where Google drops support for older software, presumably to gain more flexibility when developing its products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has announced that the Chrome browser for 32-bit Linux will stop receiving updates and security fixes in March 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[136],"tags":[156,137],"series":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
