I don't disagree that most versions/instances of Chrome are updated regularly, but implying that this is universal is questionable. Chrome is only updated if the user lets it happen. I can't count the number of times I've watched some co-worker share their screen on a conference call and the Chrome update button is lit up, but apparently that's not a trigger to these people (I update pretty much as soon as I notice the indication since Google has done a remarkably good join of updating in place in a way that most SaaS things and web sites just reopen without trouble). I'm sure the next time they restart/reboot it will get updated, but if there was some hideous Chrome-related bug which is from a release a month ago, you might want to think about that. It's also entirely possible to turn off updates if you or some misguided IT person is really so inclined.

Good point, it's definitely not universal. Maybe it's more fair to think of it in terms of priority. I don't expect a smaller team to test on many versions, but the bigger the team and the more users they have, the more diligent they should be with their testing. So in my opinion, in order, I'd test on: - current Chrome - current Safari - older Safari - older Chrome & current Firefox Not sure what comes next, IE 11 maybe? I guess at some point it's good to look into automating some testing. And it's worth noting, as with most things, that "it depends", I don't expect the same browser support from something like Figma and from a government website for example.
