Google Chrome

Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google that was first released on 2 September 2008 for Microsoft Windows. It was based on the WebKit rendering engine, but Google forked it in 2013 to use the Blink engine. All variants of Chrome except for the iOS variant now use the Blink engine. The WebKit engine is still used in the iOS variant, due to restrictions in the App Store’s policies.

Chrome 49.0 is the last major release of Google Chrome to run on Windows XP and Vista, as Chrome 50 dropped support for these platforms, while the Microsoft Office family already previously discontinued support for these platforms with Office 2013. Also, Chrome 110 is the last major release of Google to run on Windows 7 and Windows 8(.1), as future releases will drop support for these platforms, while the Microsoft Office family already previously discontinued support for these platforms with Office 2019.
