As you may know, Google has recently severed support for Google Chrome on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. At work, I still come across a fair amount of Windows 7 machines. And much like with Windows XP, I know I'm going to need to install Chrome on one of these systems at some point. So I needed to make sure that I had installers for Google Chrome 109 for such an occasion. Only this time, I was able to plan for it.
Download:
Google Chrome v109.0.5414.120
Google Chrome Enterprise v109.0.5414.120
Unlike with Chrome 49 for Windows XP (where I had to hunt for installers on questionable websites and verify that they hadn't been tampered with), these were downloaded by me directly from Google's servers. As such, there is no question about their legitimacy. For the sake of completion, I wanted to be as thorough as possible here. So I downloaded installers for every single platform that Google provides them for, even the non-Windows ones. And I did this for both the normal and Enterprise installers, as well as the policy configurations for Windows enterprise platforms. This is about as complete of an archive as someone can ask for, so I hope it's useful.
Now I should give you all the same disclaimer that I would give my clients in this situation. This version of Google Chrome is obviously unsupported by Google, meaning it will no longer receive security or feature updates. As such, it should be considered unsafe and vulnerable to security exploits. Additionally, don't be surprised if the web becomes less functional as time goes on, as more and more features are added to it. Having said all that, I do still believe it is very important to preserve software like this. Even with all the risks, it should still be an option for those who want (or even need) it.
