Update Google Chrome

To make sure you're protected by the latest security updates, Google Chrome can automatically update when a new version of the browser is available on your device. With these updates, you might sometimes notice that your browser looks different.
Get a Chrome update when available
Normally updates happen in the background when you close and reopen your computer's browser. But if you haven't closed your browser in a while, you might see a pending update:
1. On your computer, open Chrome.
2. At the top right, look at More More.
3. If an update is pending, the icon will be colored:

  • Green: An update was released less than 2 days ago.
  • Orange: An update was released about 4 days ago.
  • Red: An update was released at least a week ago.


 To update Google Chrome:

 1. On your computer, open Chrome.
2. At the top right, click More More.
3. Click Update Google Chrome.

  • Important: If you can't find this button, you're on the latest version.

4. Click Relaunch.

 The browser saves your opened tabs and windows and reopens them automatically when it restarts. Your Incognito windows won't reopen when Chrome restarts. If you'd prefer not to restart right away, click Not now. The next time you restart your browser, the update will be applied.

You can block the notification requests. Here’s how to do it. 1. Click the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of Chrome. 2. Click “Settings”. 3. Scroll to the bottom and click “Advanced”. 4. Click “Site Settings” under "Privacy and security". 5. Click "Notifications" 6. Flip the “Ask before sending (recommended)” toggle to “Blocked”. That’s all there is to it. The same procedure works for Chrome on Windows machines, Chromebooks and Android phones. I don’t know why website owners think it’s a good idea to annoy people with these infernal notification requests, but I’m glad Chrome gives us the me...

  With so much of our lives taking place online, it's important to take steps to protect our privacy.
