Google to Shut Down Its Classic Sites

This morning an email was dispatched to “active” users of Google classic Sites detailing its retirement, which will take place over the next year.

The email, which had the subject line “Migrate your classic sites to new Google Sites,” headlined that the service will be fully shut down on September 1, 2021. To begin this transition, classic Sites creation will be disabled on November 1, 2020, after which point users will have a little under a year to move to the new Sites.

The launch of the Classic Sites Manager, which aims to assist in the conversion of classic Sites to new Sites. It allows you to convert, archive, or delete any classic Sites on your account, as well as export a spreadsheet of all your sites to Google Sheets. Users are encouraged to begin their transition today to avoid disruptions in the future.

This modified schedule sees website creation being disabled in May of 2021, followed by the loss of editing capabilities in October, and the complete shutdown of classic Sites in December, at which point you can no longer view any sites that have not transitioned.

Also, this transition was originally delayed due to a number of features from classic Sites not being available in the revamped version, which has since been remedied.

Later, the giant tech released test versions of its Chrome browser for PCs with 64-bit chips, a move that will improve performance, security, and stability.

However, Chrome has never made the jump and is only available in a 32-bit flavor, potentially leading to some unnecessary security and performance degradations. That’s finally changing: Starting with Chrome 85, phones running Android 10 and higher will automatically receive a 64-bit version.
