cool "Nobody thought to check this" bug: while being on Windows Vista will send you to the fallback Chrome download page for XP and Vista, the download link actually tries downloading the latest ChromeSetup.exe, which
- trips up SmartScreen
- is "not a valid Win32 application"
- has an "invalid signature"

the page gives you the correct "legacy" ChromeSetup from 2020 on XP

Google Chrome's download page on Windows Vista's Internet Explorer 9, showing "This device won't recieve updates because Google Chrome no longer supports your operating system." and with a download link for "Windows XP/Vista"
Internet Explorer 9's downloads page, showing ChromeSetup.exe as a 10.2MB executable marked as "This program was reported as unsafe." and the only button option being to Delete it.
The Digital Signatures page for ChromeSetup.exe on Vista showing "This digital signature is not valid." and an error at the top saying "ChromeSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

anyone at Google seeing this and want to fix it for us Vista-heads? 👀

more funny stuff:
on Windows XP, you get sent installers/win_xp/ChromeSetup.exe, ~2MB from 2020
on Windows 7 and 8.1, you get sent installers/win_7/ChromeSetup.exe, ~2MB from 2024
on Windows 10, 11, and Vista, you get sent installers/ChromeSetup.exe, ~10MB and from 2025

they really did just forget
