Google Chrome 150 Will Be Last Version to Support macOS Monterey

by

Google has confirmed that its Chrome 150 browser update coming later this year will be the last version to support macOS Monterey. Going forward, Chrome 151 and later versions will no longer support macOS 12, which Apple released in October 2021.

Chrome Feature 22
In a platform status update, Google says that on Macs running Monterey, Chrome 150 will continue to work, but the browser will display a warning infobar and will not update any further. For new installations of Chrome 151+, macOS 13 or newer will be required.

Google has not announced an exact release date for Chrome 150. But based on the current stable channel being at version 143 and that Google typically releases major new Chrome versions roughly every four weeks, Chrome 150 is likely to be rolled out sometime around mid-2026.

To stay up-to-date with the latest browsing standards and to maintain online security, users on Monterey should update their macOS version, or choose another third-party browser like Firefox that is still receiving updates for their version of macOS.

It would have been helpful a list of Macs for which Monterey is the latest available version.

I sell a lot of used 2012-2018 Macs. I always load Firefox on them even if they support chrome.

Is there any actual hardware limitation as to why chrome drops support significantly quicker than Firefox? Just money?

People will need to move to Firefox if they are stuck in Monterey. It is sad because is a really good OS version for Intel processors.

Or not, a lot of people use an older version of the browser even the browser it self displaying an update warning

The problem is, what happens when browsers stop supporting Sequoia, which is the last Mac OS version before the low contrast "we don't care if you see your work" change.

If you need a web browser with the Chromium engine, then get Brave (the browser).

Otherwise, it could be a good opportunity to give Firefox a chance.
