As the most popular internet browser in the world, Google Chrome is also the most common browser in dental offices. How do we know? Chrome accounts for most of the browser-related service requests we receive from clients. Does that mean Chrome has problems? Not at all. It’s fast, compatible with more sites and features than most, and it’s our go-to for ruling out the browser in most service cases.
So if Chrome is so great, what’s the problem? Keeping your browser as secure as possible means keeping it updated regularly, and the good news is you can do it yourself. Here’s our step-by-step guide.
01Update Google Chrome, step by step
- 1Look for a pending updateNormally you don’t need to do anything: Chrome updates in the background when you close and reopen it. If you haven’t closed your browser in a while, you may see a pending “Update” button in the top right corner.
- 2Click Update and relaunchClick the button and let Chrome restart to apply the update.
- 3Or choose Not NowIf you’d rather not restart right away, click “Not Now.” The update will be applied the next time you restart the browser.
