14 DAY TRIAL // Google has just released a new minor update for Chrome 73 as the company is preparing for another major update later this month.
With today’s update, Google Chrome reaches version 73.0.3683.103 on all supported desktop platforms, including here Windows, Linux, and macOS. You can download the new version using the links below.
Needless to say, this is just a minor update that doesn’t bring any new features, and you can check the full changelog here.
One important issue that the browser update doesn’t seem to fix, however, is a screen flickering bug happening on Windows 10. As I explained here, Google Chrome sometimes flickers on a number of Windows 10 devices, and the search giant itself recommended users to disable two Windows 10 customization settings.
Since a workaround already exists, Google is very likely to include a fix in a Chrome update shortly, though an ETA isn’t available right now.
Google Chrome 74 coming later this month
Today’s release is very likely the last update for Google Chrome 73, as the company is gearing up for another major launch later this month.
Google Chrome 74 is projected to launch on April 23, and it’ll be available on all supported platforms, including mobile devices.
Meanwhile, the number of Chromium-based browsers is increasing with the addition of Microsoft Edge, which is also migrating from EdgeHTML to the same engine behind Google Chrome. Microsoft is projected to release a preview build of the new browser in the coming weeks, while the stable version of the new Edge should go live in Windows 10 and for the other supported platforms, including Linux and macOS, later this year.
You can download the new version of Google Chrome from Softpedia for Windows, Linux, and macOS using these links.
