Certainly one of the great advantages of the Chrome browser, for those who use it, is its ability to synchronize information between the user's devices with Google's servers, since with this functionality we can ensure that all our data is protected. .
But according to the latest Google news, it looks like there will soon be a cut in this offer. It has been revealed that older versions of Chrome will no longer sync, meaning users will lose the ability to use their account across multiple devices to get synced.
In its defense, Google says that this measure was taken because it was noticed that many users end up not updating Chrome in its latest version on their PCs, as well as on other devices. Many choose to keep older versions, which often have serious security and stability issues.
BUT: Do you use Chrome? So, urgently install the new Google update for this browser
According to the technology company, this is a problem that can incur consequences for the user, so Google will want to discontinue its use. Thus, and with the arrival of the next version of Chrome (v.96), it will start to limit what it offers to version 48 and earlier of this browser.
In the same statement, Google informs that data synchronization will be interrupted after this release. Everything that is visited or registered in these versions is no longer carried over to the most recent ones and the opposite will also happen.
To inform you that this attitude of Google is not exactly new, as it had already announced it before on its Chrome Enterprise channels. Its materialization now seems to be taking shape and getting ready to reach users and older versions of this browser.
Version 48 of Chrome was released in 2016, so it's been a long time. For now, even in exceptional cases, this version should only be used on Windows XP, being the last to be supported.
There are 2 weeks left for this new feature to reach users, as well as Chrome 96. This may be the moment that many should take to update their browser and thus avoid losing the ability to sync data with Google.
