 welcome,
 
 That is
 correct. Google no longer supports the browser under
 x86-32.
 
 You can continue to
 use the old version, or switch to 64-bit Linux,
 which it was time to do anyway. It's been
 time to go 64-bit for 5
 years or more.
 
 There are many alternatives
 based on the same or related rendering
 engines -- Chromium, KDE Konqueror, Midori,
 Epiphany, Opera. Of
 course, these may be
 discontinued too, at some point, as the
 underlying Blink renderer presumably will lose
 32-bit support at some
 point.
