Frequently Asked Questions

Chrome releases a new major version approximately every 4 weeks. Each version spends about 4 weeks in Beta before becoming Stable. Google also provides an Extended Stable channel with 8-week release cycles for enterprise environments requiring longer testing periods.

Chrome is available on Windows (7+), macOS (10.15+), Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+, Fedora 32+), Android (8.0+), iOS (15+), and ChromeOS. Release timing may vary slightly between platforms, with desktop typically releasing first.

Extended Stable is an enterprise-focused channel that receives major updates every 8 weeks instead of 4 weeks. It still receives security patches and critical fixes. This gives IT teams more time to test and deploy updates across their organization.
