back to article Chrome sends old Macs on permanent Safari: Browser bricks itself

Apple fans who still run macOS Mavericks and earlier on their computers won't be able to run Google's Chrome browser any more. Reg readers tell us that their copies of Chrome have automatically updated to a version of the browser that requires macOS 10.10 (aka Yosemite), meaning anyone running 10.9 Mavericks and below can no …

    According to StatCounter, 3.4% of Macs still run Mavericks, and 1.6% are even on Snow Leopard (link).

    Then again, StatCounter data has been known to be highly questionable. For instance, they claim Google owns 66% of the search engine market share in Korea (link), and that's... dubious... to say the least.

      And Pentium 3 was sold as long as their failed Pentium 4, there wasn't even a Pentium 4 non-desktop CPU. Mobile and server stayed on Pentium III. And the successor of Pentium 4, named Intel M and Intel Core were based on Pentium III as well.

        Times being hard and the sister needing a new laptop, my Dad went out and bout a Toshiba one from PC World back in 2003/2004. It came with a Pentium 4 D processor.

        You could fry eggs on it, it ran so hot it could've started a fire.

          No wonder, it's the dual-core Pentium 4 successor, based on Pentium 4. There was no mobile CPU version of Pentium D.

          So it was rather insane to put such a hot running CPU inside a notebook. There were those 17" and 19" rather big notebooks with a battery that lasted like 30min. Well Toshiba was a rather shitty notebook maker. With the worst driver support of any company.

            Was there ever a Pentium 4-based mobile processor, full stop? I'd be surprised if there was.

            As I remember- and Wikipedia confirms- Intel's mobile line around that time (the Pentium M) was based on the Pentium III, and it started to get a reputation as a serious choice for those wanting to build a more energy-efficient *desktop* PC.

            That last bit- along with the fact that the Pentium 4's increasingly energy-hungry architecture was a dead-end anyway- probably explains why they used the (Pentium III-derived) Pentium M as the basis of the first-generation Intel Core chips.

        Sort of but not exactly. Since 10.9, new versions of the OS are free and can be installed relatively easily. It's not like windows 10; it will actually run pretty much the same. Since they didn't leave any models on 10.9 (everything on 10.9 supports up to 10.11), they supported it for less. I believe they still release security patches for 10.11 because older machines have reached the last supported OS. Incidentally, I'd recommend everyone running less than 10.11 upgrade to it, because it is significantly more stable, and that nobody upgrade from 10.11, especially to 10.13.

    Still, Google have form in this respect. Google Docs on iOS 7 disabled itself without being updated when Google "decided" that iOS 7 was too old (about the time iOS 9 came around, IIRC).

            So the company will push out MegaBrowser 1.24 like normal, however the build for XyzzyOS will no longer have any automatic update functionality and attempts to check for updates will open a dialogue explaining that XyzzyOS is no longer supported, that the software may be insecure because it isn't going to be updated any more, and whatever corporate bull they think might help push users to install the brilliant new Copland OS Enterprise.

              the software may be insecure

              And there you have it—"the software may be insecure". The big browser makers, including Google, Apple and Microsoft are collectively forcing the web in general to abandon insecure practices, particularly bad cipher suites and old versions of SSL. This is happening in the browsers themselves, and also at the OS infrastructure level (certificates, HTTP/2).

              These companies are quite open, in technical talks and blogs, that this is their aim.

              Harsh as it is, I don't want people running old insecure systems online. It's the same principle as forcing old unsafe vehicles off the road. It is bad luck for those individuals but necessary for the greater good.

              If they don't aggressively nuke these installations you will get the situation where you have islands of outdated clients talking to outdated servers and modern clients unable to participate. That was the situation for years with IE6 and then with Flash, and Google, Apple, etc. will be well aware of that pitfall.

                Furthermore, why is this an issue? If the client speaks an older protocol (assuming some sort of proprietary protocol as http hasn't changed much and supporting it is just too difficult) then the client doesn't talk to the server any more. To halt all progress because some old stuff remains is every bit as moronic as having a browser update itself to an incompatible version...

        It's doing networking, and Apple have been fairly aggressively tinkering with their networking stacks (yes, plural, there are multiple ones). For example, after Mavericks the entire domain name resolution subsystem was replaced. Apple also sunset insecure stuff like WEP, SMBv1 and old SSL versions before almost anyone else (because they can, and some big player has to).

        I don't know how much of the networking stack Chrome implements for itself, but it's certainly possible there's some API in Yosemite or later they want to use.

        This is before we get to other API changes in the UI etc.

        So, yes, a program of Chrome's size and complexity probably *is* "intricately linked" to the OS, kernel and other supplied components.

          There's something called the sockets API. Its remained unchanged pretty much since the 80s and it hasn't changed on the current version of OS/X so your argument is rubbish. The changes to the networking stacks should - if apple has got it right - be completely invisible to a userspace application.

            80s sockets isn't enough for a modern app

            "There's something called the sockets API. Its remained unchanged pretty much since the 80s..."

            Funny, getaddrinfo() and kqueue()/epoll() weren't there in the 1980s. So if you want IPv6 support and to avoid the well-known performance problems with select(), you have to use more modern code.

            Assuming you have getaddrinfo(), does the implementation and version you have support IDNA? Do you need to do the punycode conversion in your app or is it done for you inside getaddrinfo()?

            Have you ever tried implementing Happy Eyeballs using just getaddrinfo() and BSD sockets? I have, and it's ugly, due in no small part to the lack of async interface in getaddrinfo(). Far easier just to call the complete, transparent, implementation Apple provide... which does not use the BSD API.

            How about access to the system certificate store? Not even thought of in the 1980s.

            DNS discovery? Sure, they could include a complete DNS asynch implementation in Chrome (and, for all I know, do) but there's one written by Apple just waiting.

            They probably implement HTTP using a library but Apple give you that too. Again, not in the BSD API.

            BTW Apple do support most of their networking improvements in the (what they regard as legacy) BSD API, but there are a few things only supported in their own implementation. Once you start trying to support iOS as well, there's no contest: you can't turn on the 4G radio using BSD, so although present it's essentially useless.

              It would be nice if there was support for a set of common standard extenstions to the socket API, but none of the players have ever been interested.

      You are correct, Google Chrome contains Spyware named "SwReporter". A tool that scans all your files and uploads a summary incl filename, hashes, etc. to Google servers. The "SwReporter" is a hidden folder on your disc. You cannot deactivate the tool, it only runs when you are not using your notebook/PC and is therefor very hard to trace down. If you delete the tool, it gets reinstalled the next day. It severe drains your battery and shortens your SSD lifetime. Unfortunately news media don't investigate and write about it. So better use a open source Chromium build. (Unfortunatly Firefox after 52 ESR isn't any better, it contains unfriendly behaviour too, and all old addons are nowadays broken) It seems all browsers are sponsored nowadays by the same party, and rather hostile to the users' privacy :(

    Surely a much better approach from Google would be to throw up an error message that their browser is out of date and the user has to explicitly allow the out of date software to open.

    By stopping the user from using the browser all together you could be locking them out of information they need to be able to access such as their browsing history or saved passwords. And this sort of approach is not likely to make users want to go back to Chrome even if they did update their OS.

(3) Chrome was great at first, but later became a memory hog and even buggy. Also, they started disliking adblockers (understandably) and kicked them out of Chrome marketplace.

    A shame. My 2006 MacBook still works, even though it's a bit creaky. I hesitate to upgrade past Snow Leopard due to performance. But it works.

    It's not like I refuse to upgrade. I just bought an Acer Predator Helios 300 and passed along a nearly new Nitro 5 to my daughter. But I hate to throw working hardware away.

    Maybe I can get a couple quid for it on eBay.

    Meh

    Still works 10.6.8?

    Stuck at v. 49.0.yada

    This computer will no longer receive googly updates because Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 are no longer supported - ?? Will Chrome still work even though there are no updates to bork it?

    Still works

    Mac OS X 10.4.11 with Safari 4.1.3 on an iBook G4 reporting in.

    I never bought into the Chrome Kool-Aide. Although I doubt it would ever have run on this processor anyway.

    Paris, because pretty old hardware by now.

    I love my oldish MBP, but dread the day that Apple decides that it's not worthy of the next OS upgrade. That's the one major issue I do have with Apple: Planned obsolescence.

    Planned obsolescence or intentional breaching of warranty of merchantability? Or both? The latter used to be illegal in most states.

    Thumb Down

    Here's a thought then..

    ..if it's not going to run, how about detecting the OS level and NOT updating! Or is that too complex a bit of programming?

    Bricked? I think not.

    Again, something is only bricked if it is rendered unusable without some serious hardware or firmware tinkerage or a return to the vendor.

    Other things are merely broken.

    This article is not accurate - Chrome only updates itself if you've set that Preference (which I haven't). Chrome still runs on my Mac running Mavericks, and is at v67, though I still get the daily warning that it's no longer supported.

    As for Opera, you can download archive versions of it that will run on your OS. Ditto with Firefox. Only Safari and Chrome are the stern taskmasters that don't let you download past versions, so it's as well to keep your own archive of past versions should you ever need them.

      Or you can download an old version from one of the third party download sites. I mean Google's already stealing and selling your information, so why not Malware-R-US too?

    options

    Could also try Yandex or TOR on Mac. Personally would never use chrome (or google) anyway

    There's also iCab, which most users seem to have forgotten about - there are a few different versions which support Macs from High Sierra all the way back to System 7.5
