To update Google Chrome: On your computer, open Chrome. At the top right, click More. Click Update Google Chrome. If you don't see this button, you're on the latest version. Click Relaunch. The browser saves your opened tabs and windows and reopens them automatically when it restarts. If you'd prefer not to restart right away, click Not now. Google, just like Microsoft and probably any other company on the planet that produces software, wants you to use the most recent version of their products and not older versions. The company tries to keep Google Chrome users current through various means, but most importantly updating services that.
Google this week released Chrome 66 for Windows, macOS and Linux, patching 62 vulnerabilities, banning older site certificates issued by security giant Symantec, and refusing to run auto-play content unless the volume was muted. Chrome updates in the background, so users only need relaunch the browser to install the latest version. (To manually update, select 'About Google Chrome' from the Help menu under the vertical ellipsis at the upper right; the resulting tab either shows the browser has been updated or displays the download-and-upgrade process before presenting a 'Relaunch' button.) Those new to Chrome can download it from. The Mountain View, Calif. Company updates Chrome every six or seven weeks.
It last upgraded the browser on March 6. While some Chrome upgrades, like version 65, are almost entirely about under-the-hood changes, others feature oh-so-obvious new functionality. Still other upgrades boast a mix-a-lot blend of the two. Chrome 66 is definitely in that third camp.
