Download and install Google Chrome – Windows – Mac & Linux Guide

Google Chrome is a freeware web browser^[13] developed by Google. It used the WebKit layout engine until version 27 and, with the exception of its iOS releases, from version 28 and beyond uses the WebKit fork Blink.^[14][15][16] It was first released as a beta versionfor Microsoft Windows on September 2, 2008, and as a stable public release on December 11, 2008.

As of October 2015, StatCounter estimates that Google Chrome has a 56% worldwide usage share of web browsers as a desktop browser.^[17] It is also the most popular browser for smartphones, and combined across all platforms at about 45%. Its success has led to Google expanding the 'Chrome' brand name on various other products such as the Chromecast.

Google releases the majority of Chrome's source code as an open-source project Chromium.^[18][19] A notable component that is not open source is their version of the built-in Adobe Flash Player, called Pepper Flash Player.
