Google promised to release more modern version for their browser for every six weeks with the addition of new elements. At least now you know how to check which version you have.Google Chrome has been one of the best and fastest browsers in this era. On balance, it is always best to run the latest, or at least, only a single version behind the latest release. Unfortunately, browsers are also the predominant software type that introduces issues with these releases. Browsers often implement security updates and fixes in their releases which makes it even more important to run the latest browser. It makes sense to always run the latest version of any software unless there is a known issue with a recent release. Wikipedia has an excellent page on software naming conventions if you would like to know more. Semantic version naming uses three number sequences such as Version 1.0.0, Version 1.0.1 and so on. Some systems have sequence-based version numbers that increment as versions are released such as Version 1, Version 1.1, Version 1.2 etc. There are a number of software naming conventions that dictate how all software should be labeled.

If you don’t use one of these listed above, checking the version should follow the same basic method but the menu naming might be slightly different.

There are dozens of viable web browsers out there and they all work in a similar way.


Chrome Canary is the cutting edge, where developers are experimenting with new features and you are testing them out. This means it is a stable release and not Canary, Beta or Dev. You will also see that it says ‘Official Build’.
