Ironically, the best way to have a supported Chrome browser has always been to buy a Windows PC. Google will continue to support every single Windows 7 PC until January 15th, 2023, an operating system released 13 years ago, in 2009. Most Windows 7 PCs can also run Windows 10 for free, which punts that out probably at least another decade, but with no end of life officially yet set.
Meanwhile, Chromebooks have a three year lifecycle, and LOL if you spent real money on one.
- wmf 4y agoChromebooks are supported for six years (just be sure to get the latest model).

- pjmlp 4y agoSame thing on Android, even after Treble, it is easier to just target plain Chrome instead. With Google turning the Web into ChromeOS, with the complacency of Microsoft and other Chrome based forks, it is hardly any difference.
