A timeline of how to end support for Google Apps for Chrome has been posted so far. Let us also remind you that the company first announced that it would liquidate these activities in 2016.

The next major event is June 2021, when Chrome OS users lose access to Chrome, with the final shutdown for all Chromebook users occurring a year later.
