On February 1, 2022, Google announced the release of its new stable version of Chrome 98. Chrome follows a 4-week release schedule for stable channel releases.
The latest release of Chrome introduces support for the controversial keyboard 97 API. Many other browsers, including Mozilla and Apple, have announced that they will not support APIs on their browsers (Firefox and Safari).
Chrome users who run the stable version of the browser can check the installed version by selecting Menu> Help> About Google Chrome. The browser displays the installed version and checks for updates when the page opens. The new version should automatically launch and install after the download is complete.
Chrome 98 is a security update that fixes 27 personal security issues in the browser. The weight of all security issues is high, second only to critical. You will find full security updates on the Chrome Release Blog.
