Google only provides an online setup file for Google Chrome which installs the latest version of Google Chrome. It happens frequently that a user upgrades to a new version of Google Chrome and gets upset by an unpleasant feature, a missing option or an annoying bug. Therefore, some users want to roll back to an older version of Google Chrome to preserve a useful feature, option or support some legacy technology. However, is it really wise to use an out-dated verison of Google Chrome? The answer is NO since out-dated browsers usually come with security issues. A better solution to the problem is to use Slimjet browser, which runs on the latest Blink engine while offering more flexibity, features and options compared with Google Chrome. With Slimjet, we give users more choices to tune their browser to their own personal preference instead of forcing a majority style on everyone. Slimjet also integrates more features internally in the most efficient way so that you don't have to spend time dealing with unstable and resource-consuming third-party plugins. Best of all, Slimjet syncs all your Chrome data and settings via your Google account and is compatible with your favorite Chrome extensions. There is absolutely no learning curve for you to switch from Chrome to Slimjet. Give Slimjet a try now and you will never look back!
For users who insist on using an old version of Google Chrome and becoming vulnerable to security issues, you can find the right version of Google Chrome to download for your platform in the following sections.
Unfortunately, we only started to archive old versions of Chrome since Chrome 48. Chrome dropped support for Java, silverlight and other NPAPI plugins in Chrome 45. If you are looking for an old version of Chrome with support of Java, silverlight or other NPAPI plugins, you would have to use Slimjet Web Browser, which is based on Chromium and retains support of Java, silverlight and other NPAPI plugins.
The old versions of Chrome before V58 are packed as 7zip self-extracting executable. Just run the executable and extract the files under any folder on your hard drive. Then launch Google chrome with chrome.exe under the extraction folder. After V59, the archived chrome old version files are official Chrome offline installers. Just uninstall any current version of Chrome first and then run the downloaded installer. It's a one-click installer without any interactive UI.
Please notice that Chrome dropped support of XP and Vista since Chrome 50. If you are using XP and Vista, please download Chrome 49 or earlier, or download Slimjet Web Browser, which is based on Chromium and continues to support XP and Vista.
Note: Google Chrome stopped release 32-bit builds for linux since Chrome 49. If you are still using 32-bit linux and would like to be protected with the latest security patches as well, you can use Slimjet Web Browser, which is based the Chromium open source project and continues to support 32-bit linux.
Sometimes it can be just because you don't like a new update or the new version of your preferred browser. Different people have different reasons, for example, developers don't like the placement of tools and in other cases the favorite extensions might not appear so useful. In such circumstances, all you need is the same previous version. In case of Chrome, though Google doesn't provide you with any Source) to download older versions of Google Chrome, but if you are really comfortable with those you don't need to disappoint. Slimjet offers you all older version under one roof.
Google do not support any rollback to the previous versions of Chrome. But that doesn't mean, you cannot get the one. Yes, there is a simple way out to get previous version. Just uninstall your present adaptation, erasing each user's saved profile information, and then re-install the needed version. Here it is important to note that user may lose their bookmarks, history, and so on. Hence, be careful while you proceed with the same.
Now getting and downloading the prior versions of Google Chrome is possible. Slimjet share the old versions of Chrome, packed as 7zip self-extracting executable file. Download the one you need, run the executable and extract the files on your hard drive. Simply launch Google chrome with chrome.exe under the extraction folder. You can scroll above for different versions, available in 32- bit and 64- bit.
In answer to my own question, the SuppressUnsupportedOSWarning was added for Google Chrome 49.0.2623.112, which I did not have installed at that moment. Changing the policy setting can't be done from within the browser. Nor could I do it with registry settings, despite online instructions given to do just that.
It was necessary to download the ZIP file of policy templates from chromium.org. This being my first time playing with system policies, I found the experience a bit confusing at first. The relevant template needed is "windows\adm\en-US\chrome.adm" in the ZIP file. To add it in XP, run "gpedit.msc" in a Run box, then right-click "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates" and select "Add/Remove templates..." Press the Add button and navigate to the "chrome.adm" file given above.
Once added, expand the new "Google\Google Chrome" template then scroll down to find, "Suppress the unsupported OS warning." It may be necessary to click the top of the Settings column to arrange everything in alphabetical order. Double-click the setting, click Enable, then OK.
Thanks for doing that! I didn't realize it was such a convoluted process. In other words, it's much faster to use the --disable-infobars to disable the notification. While some people may want to leave infobars enabled, I have no use for them.
Supported platforms: Adobe Primetime is available on Windows Vista/7/8/10
for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Firefox.
Mac OS X, Linux and Windows XP are currently not supported.
So, I cannot avoid asking: are you sure it works for XP?
Hello dencorso
Please accept my apologies I wrote from memory, thus I failed miserably...
Plus, my XP (SP2) box has been decommissioned since last November, so was not
practical for me to test there, only tested on Vista SP2 without the PUS.
So Fx 45.0.1 is definitely not working! But here are the full details:
This patch enables playback of MP4 videos for Windows XP users using the Adobe Gecko Media Plugin. We had this in 45, but had to turn it off due to bugs in the Adobe GMP. Those have been fixed, so we should get this uplifted so that WinXP users can finally get MP4 playback.
Today is/was a Sunday, so had some more spare time at hand; I decided to bring my XP SP2 x86 box
out of storage and try myself - I installed first Firefox 46.0b9 portable and then Firefox Developer Edition
(DevEd for brevity) 47.0a2[20160410] portable (both in PAF format, with separate profiles).
In both Firefox versions, there is a "Primetime CDM provided by Adobe Systems Incorporated 17" entry in
about:addons -> plugins, also in the profile folder exists a "gmp-eme-adobe" directory with "eme-adobe.dll".
about:config has "media.gmp-eme-adobe.enabled;true". But about:preferences#content does not show a
"Playback DRM content" section!
Since you are very keen on having this working (playback of h264/aac in MP4 in Firefox on XP),
perhaps you should join referenced Bugzilla bug and share your findings there...
It appears the Mozilla Devs want this as much as you...
Since the templates are basically text files and Chromium is open source, I believe it should be acceptable to post them here. Mods, if I'm wrong then please edit this post or let me know so I can rectify the situation.
The archived Chromium versions are officially stored here, however, they are not stored in any form of common rhyme or reason. It took me quite a while when I finally found the last SSE-compatible version of Chromium 34 here.
You can get the archived versions more easily here:
Thanks @sdfox7, but my message wasn't worded very well.
It was only the policy templates file I was after, not Chromium as a whole!
Incidentally your link to 49.0.2598.0 seems to just prompt the download of a 3.3 kb .nupkg file.
Just out of interest, what exactly do you do with that?
Googling for the "older" MSI, I found this comment (re v50).
"Support of WinXP ended, OK. But Google for work, MSI Installer DO NOT CHECK target OS and deploy Chrome v50 to Windows XP."
What does anybody make of that?
Chrome 50 has officially dropped today, so it is probably safe to assume that Chrome 49.0.2623.112 m is the final version for XP and Vista users.
I downloaded the offline installer from and archived it on my FTP at
Do not try to use the Google link because it will serve you the current version which is no longer compatible.
I am just demonstrating that is was [once] available as a standalone installer at that link.
