Share

Google’s Internet Browser Chrome available for desktop, laptop and Smartphones. On Android devices Chrome has come in February 2012.But Now the next version of Chrome, 42, is the last that will work on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich; future versions will not be avaiable on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

“Developing new features on older phones has become increasingly challenging, and supporting ICS takes time away from building new experiences on the devices owned by the vast majority of our users,” wrote Aurimas Lutikas.

So if you’re still clinging to a device that runs Ice Cream Sandwich, no more updates to Chrome will be provided. The current stable version of v40 and the beta version is v41, so it’s not long until v42 rolls out to users on Jelly Bean or newer. One alternative to Chrome for ICS users is Mozilla’s Firefox, which requires Android 2.3 ( “Gingerbread”) and later; another is Opera Software’s Opera, which runs on ICS and later.
