Install windows through bootcamp and you won't have to worry about updated software refusing to run on your system. As a bonus your computer will also feel fresher because it'll run faster than OSX if you get 8.1 or 10. Or linux if you feel a little adventurous and don't use software like Photoshop. Chromium doesn't support MacOS older than 10.9 either way. Chromium is the codebase Google uses to build the actual Chrome browser.
Requirements to build Chromium: Prerequisites A Mac running 10.9+. Install Xcode’s “Command Line Tools” via Xcode menu - Preferences - Downloads The OSX 10.10 SDK. You will not find any browser based on Chrome that would run on your OS. Vivaldi, one of the bigger chrome-based projects, requires 10.9+ too. If you still want to browse the web on that computer without feeling like pulling your hair off, get used to the idea of dealing with Windows or Linux because that ain't happening with Apple's beautiful upgrade paths and magnificent backward non-compatibility.

This month, Google is for its Chrome browser on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), and 10.8 (Mountain Lion). They are also phasing out support for Windows XP and Windows Vista. While Chrome will still function on these platforms, it will no longer receive updates and security patches. Google revealed that Mac users will have to be running OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) or more recent versions to receive updates to Chrome, and have therefore encouraged legacy Mac users to upgrade their OS. Those that don’t open up the potential for viruses or other bugs that could severely damage their computer. Google will stop supporting Chrome for Windows XP, Vista, and older versions of OS X by April 2016 — TechCrunch (@TechCrunch) While many believe Macs are immune to viruses, this simply is not true. Macs have just as much of a need to be protected as PCs do.
It’s just as important to have an antivirus security solution in place. And to ensure you download all the necessary updates for browsers such as Chrome, which demonstrates the importance of upgrading your OS so that it is still supported by Chrome.

Older Mac OS? Ensure you're protected from Flashback malware courtesy of Kaspersky Labs — burwell IT ltd (@burwellitltd) Just like Chrome, Kaspersky Internet Security also requires that your Mac OS be upgraded to 10.9 or later. Older operating systems are far more prone to bugs and likely less secure, so it’s important to upgrade your Mac to a newer operating system, not just for the better security of the operating system itself, but also for the better security provided by other applications that support the newer OS. If you’re still running an older version of OS X, it definitely time to finally upgrade.
