Google has launched Chrome 141, the latest stable version of its web browser.

Google has rolled out ten AI-powered capabilities integrated directly into Chrome. These updates aim to improve daily browsing, enhance security, and automate routine tasks in a fully automated way, all without requiring users to leave their current tab. Here are the details.

Google has released Chrome 140 in the stable channel. Users requiring longer support intervals can use the Extended Stable version, which receives updates every eight weeks.

Google Chrome, a widely used web browser, automatically checks for updates to maintain performance and security. On Windows and macOS, Chrome uses an internal update mechanism that runs periodically when the system is online. The update process activates approximately every five hours or when accessing specific browser pages, such as chrome://settings/help. Upon detecting a new version, Chrome downloads and installs it silently. If the browser remains open for extended periods, a notification labeled "New Chrome available" appears; selecting "Relaunch to Update" applies the update immediately.
