Get Chrome from Google
Use Google’s Chrome download page to obtain the current Windows installer. The version in this catalog may lag Google’s current release. Chrome can update automatically after installation; check the About Google Chrome screen to see your installed version and update status.
Install and configure
- Download the installer from Google for your Windows system.
- Run the installer and follow its prompts. Some installers need an internet connection to retrieve files.
- Choose your default-browser preference. Signing in to a Google Account is optional.
- Review synchronization, privacy and extension permissions before enabling them.
Compatibility
Google’s Chrome system requirements are the source for currently supported Windows versions and hardware. Do not infer support solely from an old installer’s availability.
Browser alternatives
Mozilla Firefox uses a different browser engine. Brave is a Chromium-based browser with its own privacy controls. IDM is a download manager, and the Windows Media Creation Tool creates installation media; neither replaces a web browser.
Download checks
If a checksum is listed here, compare it with your downloaded file. A checksum alone is not a malware scan or proof of publisher authenticity. Obtain installers from Google and review any available security report separately.
