2013 iMac - MacOS update?

I have a late 2013 iMac 27-inch running Catalina. It runs like a dream, super fast, zero issues. I'm also a heavy Chrome user. I notice the last Chrome update says they will only be supporting macos 11 or later for future updates. What can I do to ensure I am able to keep getting Chrome updates?

This would be a good time to get rid of Chrome

Google is known to "phone home" with users data as was found out with this new Google Photos service:  Google Photos may be free — but there's still a cost.

Also consider the following:

Good replacements are Brave Browser or Firefox. I believe both will work with Catalina and both will better protect your privacy than Chrome.


Just some food for thought.
