Google to kill Chrome Sync on older Chrome browser versions
Summary: Google will discontinue the Chrome Sync feature for versions of Chrome older than four years starting in early 2025. Users on outdated versions will receive error messages prompting them to update in order to maintain access to sync features. This decision reflects Google’s ongoing efforts to encourage updates for security and functionality.

Affected: Google Chrome users

Keypoints :

  • Chrome Sync saves user data like bookmarks, passwords, and settings across devices.
  • Users on unsupported versions will see error messages and lose sync functionality.
  • This move is aimed at improving security by encouraging users to update their browsers.
