Do you love using Google Chrome to surf the web from your smartphone? If that is the case, then you should make sure to keep your smartphone connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. The reason why we are saying that is because Chrome’s developers have released a brand-new update and it is rolling out via OTA (over the air) channels. Without any further ado, let’s go ahead and take a look at all the improvements that the new update brings.
Google Chrome 83.0.4103.96 Update for Android
One of the best things about using Chrome is the fact that you receive access to a constant stream of software updates. The latest one is changing the mobile browser’s version number to 83.0.4103.96 and as previously noted, it is rolling out via OTA (over the air) channels.
If the update is not popping up in your notifications panel, then you should be pleased to know that there is a way to manually trigger it. Access Chrome’s Google Play Store page and then tap on the “Updates” option. The app store will automatically search for the latest software release and download it.
What’s New?
Google puts a high price on the security of its users and therefore, it shouldn’t come as a shock to find out that the new update focuses on improving the overall security of the mobile browser. The way that the update does that is by introducing a handful of bug fixes that are tackling various issues and patching security exploits.
