Dropping IE for Chrome, Mozilla's Firefox or Opera Software's Opera was one way to minimize - but not eliminate - risk, they said. (The company made a one-time exception shortly thereafter when it shipped an emergency patch for its Internet Explorer (IE) browser.)īecause Microsoft halted security fixes for IE on Windows XP on April 14, 2014, security professionals urged the OS's users to switch to another browser. Microsoft called it quits on Windows XP a year ago Tuesday, when it issued the final scheduled security updates for the 2001 OS. "Millions of people are still working on XP computers every day we want those people to have the option to use a browser that's up-to-date and as safe as possible on an unsupported operating system." "We know that not everyone can easily switch to a newer operating system," Larson said of Google's decision to continue supporting Chrome on XP after the latter's retirement.
