If Google has raised the requirement for Chrome to Monterey, you cannot install Chrome on that Mac.

Your machine can run Big Sur, which may still be good enough to run current versions of other third-party browsers like Firefox and Brave.

Apple made a number of 11" MacBook Airs with hardware model years ranging from Late 2010 to Early 2015. The only one that is compatible with Monterey is the Early 2015 one. The others cannot be upgraded that far.

So what does it say about yours in  > About This Mac? Is it the Early 2015 one?
