Default no more Crome updates for Vista

After updating Chrome on my (Vista) notebook I just got the following
message:

Version 48.0.2564.82 m
Google Chrome has been updated.
This computer will soon receive no more Google Chrome updates since Windows
XP and Windows Vista are no longer supported.



Do I run a risk when continuing to use Chrome on this notebook?

Yes, but anything of this sort is apparently less risky than running
Windows 10, so you might not feel the need to really worry about it.

Options:

1) Sit tight and enjoy your un-updated browser.
For example, if Chrome has SHA-2 (SHA256) certificate capability
for https today, then you're "up to date" on service-affecting
protocol changes.

2) There is Chrome (closed source, Google) and
Chromium (open source). They're basically the
same browser. You can see whether Chromium can
fulfill your needs. Worst case, you find their
build recipe, and build new versions from source.
(I just finished doing this for Firefox, and it
can be done. All you need is the recipe...)

Then the question would be, whether PepperFlash is
included in Chromium, so your Flash stays up to date.

HTH,
Paul

No as long as you use some common sense. I mean stop visiting dodgy
sites and all that. Has your machine got anti-virus/Anti-Malware
software of some sort?

That's *very* outdated advice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malvertising

It has little to do with what websites you visit.
Script, Java and Adobe products are the biggest
risk, with script being the main one. And as one
can see at the link above, blocking ads and 3rd-
party files has actually become a very good security
strategy. That's because the common attack method
these days is to plant attack ads on legitimate
websites. The person buying the ad is several step
removed from the actual website owner. In other
words, an attack ad on Yahoo might run for days
without notice because Yahoo is just letting ad
servers manage their ads, and those ad servers
may have further subcontracted the process.
Nobody's minding the store.

Yes Comodo internet security. But lately there are also unsolved Vista compatibility issues with that.

You could use Firefox. There are currently no plans to drop support for
Vista (or XP).

There is also SRWare's build of Chromium, called "Iron"
http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php

I don't know whether or it will support Vista going forwards.

AFAIK no, but you can download the PPAPI ("Pepper") Flash
plugin from Adobe.

A Chrome clone, Slimjet is compatible with Windows XP (w/ sp2), Windows
Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 2003/2008/2012.

Outdoes Chrome in EVERY respect, IMHO.
