Search giant Google is rolling out what is likely the last incremental release of Chrome 21 for Leopard users, squashing any remaining bugs before moving onto releases that target newer versions of OS X. The iOS version of the browser has been updated as well.
Last week, Google issued a memo to Mac users of its Chrome web browser informing the Leopard install-base that version 21 was the last they’d see on the five-year old Mac OS.
“If you already have Chrome installed, you can still use Chrome, but it will no longer be auto-updated,” the company behind the world’s biggest search engine said.
“In addition, you’ll be unable to install Chrome on any Mac still running 10.5 (which is an OS X version also no longer being updated by Apple),” it added.
While Google never said anything about incrementing Chrome on Leopard one last time, a recent update on the Stable channel indicates that this is the case.
The public release version is often referred to as simply the ”Stable” version. Even when you have the most up-to-date stable version, though, you can still run across issues. You may find that some older software on your machine does not play nicely with this new Chrome. Some of your extensions may not work. Download older versions of Google Chrome for Mac. All of the older versions of Google Chrome have no viruses and are totally free on Uptodown.

Karen Grunberg blogging for Google reports that, “The Stable channel has been updated to 21.0.1180.90 for Mac 10.5 users only.” Users are directed to the changelog to see what’s new (mostly bug fixes), and those who find new issues are apparently still encouraged to use the bug reporter.
“You can see the list of changes here. If you find new issues, please let us know by filing a bug at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/entry,” reads the announcement.
On the iOS front, Chrome 21.0.1180.82 is now available to iPhone and iPad users preferring the Google web browsing experience over the iOS built-in Safari.
The changelog here is terse, mentioning only compatibility updates for iPhone 5 and iOS 6, as well as a bunch of “stability and security improvements.” You can download both updates via the links below.

Older versions of Google Chrome
It's not uncommon for the latest version of an app to cause problems when installed on older smartphones. Sometimes newer versions of apps may not work with your device due to system incompatibilities. Until the app developer has fixed the problem, try using an older version of the app. If you need a rollback of Google Chrome, check out the app's version history on Uptodown.
