      Android 9 released on 6th August 2018. Which is 7yrs old. It sucks but that’s how it goes with software. Current breed of smartphones receive anywhere from 4-7yrs of OS updates.

      So, unless you use very outdated hardware you should be fine. My own Redmi 7a which received 1 OS update from 2019 is running android 10 which is just above the OS threshold for chrome.
