Google has confirmed yet another security update, the third in as many weeks, for Chrome users on Linux, Mac and Windows—here’s what you need to know.

Google will phase out Chrome Sync for browser versions older than 4 years (pre-2021) in 2025. A modern, automatic sync model (introduced August 2023) replaces the outdated 2009 system, eliminating manual setup.

A new policy for Chrome Sync will see Google disable the functionality if you haven't updated your browser recently enough.

Google confirmed that you might see other messages related to Chrome update failure such as: Updates are disabled by administrator, This computer will no longer receive Chrome updates because Windows XP and Windows Vista are no longer supported, or Google Chrome may not be able to keep itself updated.
