The option to check for updates from the "About Google Chrome" page (chrome://settings/help) has mysteriously gone missing for me on Dev build 78.0.3889.0 for chromebooks. I am using an ASUS Flip C302 fwiw.

Is there another way to manually force Chrome to check for updates? And has this option been taken away for some reason?

The main reason I ask is that this latest update has my Chromebook browser restarting every 30-40 mins :-/

Take a look at chrome://os-settings instead

There's a crbug for that dev channel issue:

Does anyone have any idea if selinux is the best version installed

that question doesn't seem related to this thread. also, what does "best version" mean ? selinux is a kernel feature. you can't pick from different versions.

By the way, for future reference the best url for jumping to the option of updating chrome is: chrome://os-settings/help
