In Google Chrome 76, proxy support was removed entirely. A bug in Google Chrome 74 and later versions resulted in dropping support for accessing FTP URLs over HTTP proxies.

Google had previously removed support for fetching document sub resources over FTP and rendering of top-level FTP resources in Google Chrome 72 and later versions. Google removed support for FTP in the Chrome browser because usage is significantly low and it is no longer viable to invest in improving the existing FTP client. The most notable part of this release is the removal of the Adobe Flash Player and FTP features.

On January 19th, 2021, Google released a new Chrome version–Chrome 88.
