This just made me realise how difficult it is to check my version.
1. Hamburger menu -> hunt for the 'about' -> version 54. Great!.. or..not? Is that old?
2. Google "google chrome current version" -> skip past a few 3rd party sites detailing how to find the 'about' page -> Choose what I assume is the product page: https://www.google.com/chrome/ https://www.google.com/chrome/
3. No version number in this page. In fact, no mention of browsers at all! The page appears to be an advert for chromebooks. In the bottom left, in the site-navigation footer there is 'browser' under 'products'.
4. Ah, this is more like it. This looks like your typical marketing website/landing page - fancy feature list, big download button, but... no version number? -> Click "Download"
5. A terms of service and a download button? What version am I going to "Accept and Install"?? Filename it wants to download is "google-chrome-stable_current".. great! Is that the version I currently have?
Unsurprisingly wikipedia has all the information I wanted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history
- Nadya 10y agoStep 1 will attempt to update and tell you what the new version is. It will also tell you you are out of date. Recalling from memory, it looks like this: Google Chrome is out of date. Version 54.0.239.240 (Official Build) (##-bit) Update available: Version 57.0.2987.133
- owlninja 10y agoMine just started updating as soon as I hit 'About'
- ChrisClark 10y agoI also got the notice I didn't support CSS Grid. But my steps were: 1. Hamburger, Help, About. Says my Chrome is out of date. 2. Click update button. 3. Click restart.
