I am receiving a message on my Chrome browser that Chrome will discontinue supporting a version for my hardware, which the details said is because it is 32 bit chip. So I am just going to switch back to Firefox as my default, but I am wondering if you are going to do the same. You discontinued a version for PowerPC Macs a while ago and I am still not happy about that.

I have not seen any system requirements changes for some time as it is more the OSX version that can get dropped like with 10.4.x and 10.5.x and the PPC versus 32-bit. The PPC has not been support since Firefox 4.0 was released. The OSX 10.5.x was dropped as of Firefox 17.0

Currently the Mac OSX 10.6 and Intel hardware is still the minimum requirement.
