Google Chrome is a free web browser developed by Google. It runs on Windows 10 or later, macOS 13 Ventura or later, 64-bit Linux, Android and iOS.
Chrome is the browser many people already use on their phone, so installing it on a computer brings bookmarks, passwords and open tabs together in one place. It is free and updates itself automatically.
Key features
- Sync across devices: Sign in with a Google account to carry bookmarks, history and saved passwords between computers and phones.
- Google Password Manager: Saves passwords, suggests strong new ones and warns you about weak or reused ones.
- Chrome Web Store: Thousands of extensions for productivity, accessibility, shopping and more.
- Profiles: Keep work and personal browsing apart with separate profiles in the same browser.
Installing Chrome
- Google’s Chrome page recognizes your operating system and serves the matching installer.
- On Windows, run the small setup file; it downloads the rest of the browser and installs it.
- After installation, you can sign in to sync your data or simply start browsing without an account.
Chrome vs Chromium
Chrome is free but not open source; it is built on the open-source Chromium project. On Windows, Intel and AMD PCs need Windows 10 or later, while ARM-based PCs need Windows 11.
Pros
- Easy sync with Android and Google services
- Huge extension library
- Automatic background updates
Cons
- Not open source
- Can be heavy on memory with many tabs
