Google to stop support old browsers


Google is set to stop support of old browsers. Yes, browsers like Firefox 3.5, IE7, and Safari 3. With Google's Chrome browser they will be implementing this system, you know what I mean. Every release of Google Chrome (I believe they are referring to the stable version of Chrome), the third oldest version of the browser will not be supported anymore.

"Each time a new version is released, we’ll begin supporting the update and stop supporting the third-oldest version."
So what does Google mean when they say that they will be stopping support for old browsers?
"For web applications to spring even farther ahead of traditional software, our teams need to make use of new capabilities available in modern browsers. For example, desktop notifications for Gmailand drag-and-drop file upload in Google Docs require advanced browsers that support HTML5. Older browsers just don’t have the chops to provide you with the same high-quality experience."
We know that Google has a lot of services available for us, like Gmail, Google Maps, Google Analytics, and more or some features, if not all, will not work in older browsers. When August 1 comes it means that these services might not work properly if you are still using an old version of a browser, regardless of the kind of browser you use. 

So, make sure that the browsers you are using are the latest versions released. Here are the links where you can download the latest released versions of the following browsers.

Google Chrome (Stable)
