PSA: Google Chrome to Soon Drop Support for macOS Big Sur

Google announced that Chrome 139, scheduled for July 30, will drop support for macOS 11 Big Sur on Macs.
This change follows Apple ending security updates for macOS 11, and Google requiring newer operating systems to maintain Chrome updates.
While Chrome will still run on macOS 11 with version 138, it will show a warning infobar and no longer receive features or security patches.
Google has announced that Chrome version 138 will be the final update compatible with macOS 11 , and starting with Chrome 139, users will need to be running macOS 12 or a later version to install the browser.
This update leaves macOS 11 users vulnerable without browser patches and urges them to upgrade to macOS 12 or switch browsers still supporting Big Sur.
