I know this site is dedicated to Samsung phones but the title could be framed better. Chrome isn’t just being stopped updating for older Galaxy phones, it is being dropped for all pre Oreo Android devices, so it has a much wider reach than just Samsung.

Also, why does Opera require Android 12 as a minimum system requirement? I haven’t used it on mobile but boy, they really cut off a lot of older android users.

You know that basically every modern browser has a Private mode or Incognito mode or something like that, right?
