In order to force users to a newer Chrome browser, Google has decided to end Gmail support on computers running Chrome 53 or older. This means that many Windows XP users that are currently using the browser will no longer be able to access Gmail, as Chrome 49 is the last official version.
If you are one of those users, you have until February 8, 2017, to either install newer operating system or find another browser to access your emails.
“Gmail users that are still on Windows XP and Windows Vista are the most likely to be affected, because v49 was the last released version which supported those operating systems. As previously announced in April 2015 and November 2015, these systems are no longer maintained by Microsoft, and we strongly encourage you to migrate to more secure and supported systems.”
