Headline got trimmed so missing key info: "Google Chrome has dropped support for Windows XP, Vista, and Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8"<p>Seems a little aggressive and user-hostile.
I really don't understand why they are doing this. I have a rather old Mac Mini I wanted to give to my mom, and it would be perfectly suitable for her uses. But as of about a year ago, Chrome stopped supporting it because the hardware is too old.<p>I get that it is more work to support old hardware and operating systems, and I think it would be forgivable if it was a small shop and software that has limited number of users. But this is Chrome, and Google. What exactly is their reasoning in being so aggressive?
Can you also remove the "most visited site thumbnails" each time I open a new tab ? or at least give an option to disable that? because you removed this option. I know there are Chrome developers lurking here, frankly what does it cost them to re-enable an option to remove these ?
