Description
Update Checker for Google Chrome (Unofficial)
Keep your browser up to date and boost your daily productivity with a lightweight helper that acts as your personal Chrome command center.
Core Features:
• Automatic Update Detection: Securely checks if a newer stable Chrome version is available for your OS.
• Smart Notifications: Alerts you via a non-intrusive web banner and a native system notification (shows only once per new version so it won't annoy you).
• One-Click Update: Opens the official update page (chrome://settings/help) instantly.
Quick Access Tools (New!):
The minimalist popup now includes handy shortcuts to speed up your workflow:
• Extensions: Quickly open your extensions management page.
• History: Jump straight to your browsing history.
• Downloads: Access your downloaded files in one click.
• Refresh & Clear Cache: A dedicated button to hard-reload your current active tab, bypassing the cached content (perfect for web developers and troubleshooting).
How it works
• Reads your current Chrome version from the browser’s user agent.
• Fetches the latest stable version from Google's official API (versionhistory.googleapis.com).
• Compares versions locally—everything happens on your device.
Privacy & Security
No analytics, no tracking, no ads. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. It strictly uses the permissions requested to provide its core functionality.
Disclaimer
Not an official Google product. The extension simply opens Chrome's native pages so you can manage your browser and let Chrome update itself via built‑in mechanisms.
