Good news for survivors on Windows 7. Google Chrome’s life extended until at least 2022
In early 2020, Google announced that full Chrome support for Windows 7 would continue for at least another 18 months – until July 15, 2021. As a reminder, for regular users, extended support for Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020. Support for Windows 7 is currently only available for a fee.

Thus, the lifespan of Chrome for Windows 7 has been extended by another six months. As noted by Google, it remains open to communication about any additional changes in the future, which provides additional hope for further extending Chrome’s life.
