Google Chrome Portable 44.0.2403.125 Stable has been released. Google Chrome Portable is a web browser that runs web pages and applications quickly. The latest Beta and Dev builds are also available. Google Chrome is a web browser that aims to deliver a fast and simple Internet navigation mode while bundling several powerful features, such as bookmarks, synchronization, privacy mode.

' This computer will soon stop receiving Google Chrome updates because Windows XP and Windows Vista will no longer be supported. '

and newer versions show

' This computer will no longer receive Google Chrome updates because Windows XP and Windows Vista are no longer supported.'

Unfortunately, Google feels it is necessary to bombard the user with this message every single time you launch the browser.

Here is how to bypass / disable / get rid of / turn off / remove the Google Chrome nag screen once and for all in Windows XP and Windows Vista.

I created a similar page in June 2017; you may also find that helpful:
Here is what I believe to be the simplest procedure for updating Adobe Flash Player for Google Chrome on Windows XP
Adobe Flash Player is being discontinued for all operating systems on December 31, 2020. Read about the end-of-life (EOL) here.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

The final version of Google Chrome officially supported for Windows XP and Vista is Google Chrome 49, version
49.0.2623.112 m.

Download the last version of Google Chrome for Windows XP (the full 44.4MB standalone offline installer) here:

You will NOT receive further Google Chrome security updates.

I would still highly recommend switching to a newer browser such as:
Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) 45.9.31 (alternate)
(most current Firefox for Windows XP, released November 28, 2020)
(Firefox 45 ESR with Windows XP support, you must decompress using 7-Zip (alternate), it's free)
(if the above New Moon link will not open in Google Chrome, or you receive 'This site can’t provide a secure connection o.rths.cf uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH, > use a different browser)

Pale Moon alternative:
New Moon 28.10.2 revision 27.10.2 20201212 (alternate) (released December 12, 2020)
(Pale Moon spinoff with Windows XP support, you must decompress using 7-Zip (alternate), it's free)
(if the above New Moon link will not open in Google Chrome, or you receive 'This site can’t provide a secure connection o.rths.cf uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH, > use a different browser)

SeaMonkey 2.49.5(alternate) (released September 4, 2019)

Advanced Chrome 54(alternate)(contains updates from different Google Chrome branches, such as Chrome 48, Chrome 51, Chrome 54, released January 5, 2018)

Slimjet 10.0.13.0(alternate) (released February 7, 2017)
Pale Moon 26.5.0(alternate),(released September 28, 2016) (final 'official' Pale Moon, please download New Moon above)

Opera 36.0.2130.65 (alternate) (released April 12, 2016)

While the below 'fix' turns off the message, you will NOT receive further Google Chrome security updates! Use at your own risk!
When opening Google Chrome on Windows XP and Windows Vista, the following message is displayed:

'This computer will soon stop receiving Google Chrome updates because Windows XP and Windows Vista will no longer be supported.'

This post is not to start a flame war or to debate running an unsupported operating system; rather it explains how to continue running Google Chrome on these platforms in spite of the notification.Some of us have legitimate reasons for running these older systems, particularly in controlled environments, due to legacy hardware or legacy software dependencies. After all, the US Army and US Navy both still use it.

Step 1: Right-click on the Google Chrome icon on your desktop, and select 'Properties' at the bottom of the list.

Step 2: In the resulting window, select the middle tab 'Shortcuts'.

Step 3: On the line 'Target', go to the end of the line, after the quotes press the spacebar once and then type

--disable-infobars

Step 4: After entering this code, press the button at the bottom of the window 'Save'.

Relaunch Chrome, the message will no longer appear.

UPDATE 4/14/2016:

The final version of Google Chrome officially supported for Windows XP and Vista is Google Chrome 49, version
49.0.2623.112 m.

You will NOT receive further Google Chrome security updates.

I would still highly recommend switching to a currently supported and patched browser such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Pale Moon, Sea Monkey, SlimJet, etc.

PepperFlash is the Adobe Flash Player plugin for Google Chrome.The PepperFlash destination directory has moved, and the procedure for older versions of Flash will not work for the newer versions of PepperFlash beginning with version 22.

* CREDIT goes to Heinoganda at the MSFN Forum for clarifying the proper procedure for updating PepperFlash. *

I have simplified the process here. For the fully detailed and in-depth explanation, click here.

1) You must download pepflashplayer.dll and manifest.json, and paste these files into two directories:

Google Chrome Offline Installer Latest Version

C:Documents and SettingsUserNameLocal SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeUser DataPepperFlash32.0.0.363 .

Google Chrome Version 44 Offline Installer Windows 10

This is a new path that did not exist with previous versions of Flash Player, which ONLY went to

C:Program FilesGoogleChromeApplication49.0.2623.112PepperFlash

Failure to paste the files in BOTH folders may result in Chrome failing to display Flash content.

2) Then restart Google Chrome, and your Adobe Flash Player will show the installed version on the Adobe Flash test page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ (example below)

Since Google Chrome is no longer being updated, it is important to keep Flash Player up to date. I regularly update this file once a new version is released. In the example below, you can verify the version that you have installed:

Getting Involved‎ > ‎

Download Chromium

You can test Chrome builds or Chromium builds. Chrome builds have the most infrastructure for analyzing crashes and reporting bugs. They also auto-update as new releases occur, which makes them a good choice for most uses. Chrome Canary is available for Windows and Mac and autoupdates daily. Other channels (dev and beta) are available.

Chromium builds do not auto-update, and do not have symbols. This makes them most useful for checking whether a claimed fix actually works. Use the following instructions to find builds:

Easy Point and Click for latest build:

Open up https://download-chromium.appspot.com

Easy Script to download and run latest Linux build:

Not-as-easy steps:

Head to https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/
Choose your platform: Mac, Win, Linux, ChromiumOS
Pick the Chromium build number you'd like to use

The latest one is mentioned in the LAST_CHANGE file

Download the zip file containing Chromium
There is a binary executable within to run

Please file bugs as appropriate.

Downloading old builds of Chrome / Chromium

Let's say you want a build of Chrome 44 for debugging purposes. Google does not offer old builds as they do not have up-to-date security fixes.

However, you can get a build of Chromium 44.x which should mostly match the stable release.

Look in https://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Stable%20updates for the last time '44.' was mentioned.
Loop up that version history ('44.0.2403.157') in the Position Lookup
In this case it returns a base position of '330231'. This is the commit of where the 44 release was branched, back in May 2015.*
Open the continuous builds archive
Click through on your platform (Linux/Mac/Win)
Paste '330231' into the filter field at the top and wait for all the results to XHR in.
Eventually I get a perfect hit: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Mac/330231/

Sometimes you may have to decrement the commit number until you find one.

Download and run!

* As this build was made at 44 branch point, it does not have any commits merged in while in beta.

Typically that's OK, but if you need a true build of '44.0.2403.x' then you'll need to build Chromium from the 2403 branch. Some PortableApps/PortableChromium sites offer binaries like this, due to security concerns, the Chrome team does not recommend running them.
