The development comes as Google has announced<\/a> that Chrome version 138 will be the last one to provide updates for macOS Big Sur. After that, Google Chrome will continue to work in macOS Big Sur, but you\u2019ll see a prominent warning message telling you to upgrade. It will also no longer receive updates, which will potentially make it vulnerable to serious security breaches.<\/p>\n Going forward, macOS Monterey will be the minimum requirement for Chrome updates. That\u2019ll happen with Chrome version 139, which is expected to arrive on August 5, 2025.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n That will leave Mozilla Firefox<\/a> and Microsoft Edge<\/a> as the only popular browsers still supporting macOS Big Sur. There\u2019s no telling how long that support will last, either, so upgrading your Mac is a sensible idea to keep yourself safe.<\/p>\n It\u2019s time to update<\/p>\n (Image credit: Firmbee.com \/ Unsplash)<\/p>\n Google Chrome is one of the best browsers around, thanks to its speed and huge range of extensions, so losing out on it will be a blow to anyone still running macOS Big Sur.<\/p>\n As we mentioned above, there are alternatives, but you may not be using them currently, meaning you\u2019ll likely need to switch over your bookmarks and other browsing data.<\/p>\n Apple<\/a>\u2019s macOS Big Sur update was released in 2020, and the company\u2019s own Safari<\/a> browser stopped supporting it in July 2023. That alone shows that it\u2019s probably time to install a newer version of macOS on your Mac if you\u2019re still running macOS Big Sur.<\/p>\n Older versions of macOS can be vulnerable to hackers and other threats. Although Apple supports outdated macOS versions for many years, including by rolling out security patches, it does not do so indefinitely.<\/p>\n If possible, you should update your Mac<\/a> to the latest version of macOS to ensure you have not only the latest security protections but also all the best macOS features<\/a>.<\/p>\n You might also like<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google Chrome will soon end support for macOS Big SurThat leaves only two browsers that work with this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15155,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[191,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-15154","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-computing","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/vvx4GJshNxQxrwJNN6wCaQ.jpg\")
