The upcoming release of Google Chrome version 139 will no longer support MacOS 11 upon its release later this month on July 30.
Moving forward, MacOS 11 users will ony be able to use version 138, with a warning infobar being displayed indicating they that they are running an outdated version of the browser and are no longer receiving updates.

Affected users looking to update their version of Google Chrome once the new version hits will need to be running a machine on MacOS 12 and above; however, do note that MacOS 12 Monterey reached end-of-life last November, meaning that this may not be a long-term solution.
Last month, Google similarly dropped support for Android 8 and Android 9, both being older versions of Android which launched back in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
