Users of Chrome, Firefox and Edge have been warned to prepare for an update that could crash some of the most popular websites.
The three sites will move to version number “100,” and the transition could cause some of the web’s most-visited sites to fail.
This is because these sites will not be able to process visits from browsers with three-digit version numbers.Usually, websites check your browser’s version number.For Chrome, the usual cut-off point is 40. Because the outdated code in these sites only checks the first two digits, Chrome, Edge and Firefox 100 will be read as “10” and thus blocked.If your browser is older or unsupported, it’s likely you won’t be able to open certain sites.As a contingency measure in case sites start failing after the upgrade, Google is planning on freezing Chrome’s version number at 99 in its ID code.
