Google Chrome 29 End of Life Date
Google Chrome 29 end-of-life date, support status, and CVE risk. Data from endoflife.date and official vendor documentation.
Google Chrome 29 was released on August 13, 2013 and support ended on September 24, 2013 — a supported lifespan of 42 days, in line with the 42 days median for Google Chrome releases. It has been without security patches for 12 years and 11 months. 120 newer Google Chrome releases have shipped since.
What does Google Chrome 29 end of life mean?
When Google Chrome 29 reaches end of life, the maintainers stop issuing security patches for this version. CVEs discovered after the EOL date are publicly disclosed on the National Vulnerability Database with no patch available. Exploit code frequently appears on GitHub within days of disclosure.
The CVE blind spot: Most vulnerability scanners check for known CVEs but do not flag the ongoing accumulation of unpatched vulnerabilities in EOL software versions. Running Google Chrome 29 past its EOL date creates a permanently growing attack surface that standard security tooling will not surface.
Migrate to a supported version or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.
