Brave browser is the only browser (apart from chrome and edge) that doesnt provide the links or option to download offline package or installer or version info clearly on the first screen so that user knows which version they are downloading.

Google only provides an online setup file for Google Chrome which installs the latest version of Google Chrome. It happens frequently that a user upgrades to a new version of Google Chrome and gets upset by an unpleasant feature, a missing option or an annoying bug. Therefore, some users want to roll back to an older version of Google Chrome to preserve a useful feature, option or support some legacy technology. However, is it really wise to use an out-dated verison of Google Chrome? The answer is NO since out-dated browsers usually come with security issues. A better solution to the problem is to use Slimjet browser, which runs on the latest Blink engine while offering more flexibity, features and options compared with Google Chrome. With Slimjet, we give users more choices to tune their browser to their own personal preference instead of forcing a majority style on everyone. Slimjet also integrates more features internally in the most efficient way so that you don't have to spend time dealing with unstable and resource-consuming third-party plugins. Best of all, Slimjet syncs all your Chrome data and settings via your Google account and is compatible with your favorite Chrome extensions. There is absolutely no learning curve for you to switch from Chrome to Slimjet. Give Slimjet a try now and you will never look back!

For users who insist on using an old version of Google Chrome and becoming vulnerable to security issues, you can find the right version of Google Chrome to download for your platform in the following sections.

Unfortunately, we only started to archive old versions of Chrome since Chrome 48. Chrome dropped support for Java, silverlight and other NPAPI plugins in Chrome 45. If you are looking for an old version of Chrome with support of Java, silverlight or other NPAPI plugins, you would have to use Slimjet Web Browser, which is based on Chromium and retains support of Java, silverlight and other NPAPI plugins.

The old versions of Chrome before V58 are packed as 7zip self-extracting executable. Just run the executable and extract the files under any folder on your hard drive. Then launch Google chrome with chrome.exe under the extraction folder. After V59, the archived chrome old version files are official Chrome offline installers. Just uninstall any current version of Chrome first and then run the downloaded installer. It's a one-click installer without any interactive UI.

Please notice that Chrome dropped support of XP and Vista since Chrome 50. If you are using XP and Vista, please download Chrome 49 or earlier, or download Slimjet Web Browser, which is based on Chromium and continues to support XP and Vista.

Note: Google Chrome stopped release 32-bit builds for linux since Chrome 49. If you are still using 32-bit linux and would like to be protected with the latest security patches as well, you can use Slimjet Web Browser, which is based the Chromium open source project and continues to support 32-bit linux.

Sometimes it can be just because you don't like a new update or the new version of your preferred browser. Different people have different reasons, for example, developers don't like the placement of tools and in other cases the favorite extensions might not appear so useful. In such circumstances, all you need is the same previous version. In case of Chrome, though Google doesn't provide you with any Source) to download older versions of Google Chrome, but if you are really comfortable with those you don't need to disappoint. Slimjet offers you all older version under one roof.

Google do not support any rollback to the previous versions of Chrome. But that doesn't mean, you cannot get the one. Yes, there is a simple way out to get previous version. Just uninstall your present adaptation, erasing each user's saved profile information, and then re-install the needed version. Here it is important to note that user may lose their bookmarks, history, and so on. Hence, be careful while you proceed with the same.

Now getting and downloading the prior versions of Google Chrome is possible. Slimjet share the old versions of Chrome, packed as 7zip self-extracting executable file. Download the one you need, run the executable and extract the files on your hard drive. Simply launch Google chrome with chrome.exe under the extraction folder. You can scroll above for different versions, available in 32- bit and 64- bit.

The installers provide advantages to both the user and Google but also some disadvantages. On the positive side, whenever you run the installer, the latest version of Google Chrome gets downloaded and installed.

Offline or full Chrome installers are linked to a specific version which may be outdated. While that is not the end of the world thanks to Chrome's automatic updating system, it still means that you will have to check for updates on first launch to make sure the latest version is installed.

Google benefits from net installers as well as it gets more data about the installation process. The installer requires an Internet connection and Google gets data during installation such as the date of installation, information about the system or if the installation fails.

Downsides to net installers are that you cannot install them on offline machines, that you may run into issues installing them on devices with slow Internet connections, and that net installers are not ideal if you want to install the browser on multiple machines as you would download it for each device individually instead of just once.

A click on the download button downloads the full version of the selected Chrome edition to your system. The file has a size of nearly 50 Megabytes and highlights that it is the full version of Chrome in its name as well.

The installer does not require an Internet connection during setup so that you may install it without having to worry about being connected to the Internet and about the stability of the Internet connection.

Over the years, for me, Google Chrome has worked, largely, without major problems. There were somesnags here and there, including a few Aw swap issues and a rare incompatibility with EMET. Other than that, it's alwaysworked fairly reliably, and I had no reasons to complain. Especially not regarding its self-updatefunctionality.

That changed while I was testing Windows 10 update 1804. Not having powered on the box for afew weeks, Chrome was lagging behind a couple of version, so I thought, let's fire up the browser andmake it update. The attempt failed with the following text: An error occurred while checking for updates: Update check failed to start(error code 3: 0x80080005 -- system level). What now?

The issue occurred when I tried to make Chrome update "manually" - Help > About Google Chrome.Overall, you would rarely if ever need to do this, because the browser sets its own scheduled task tocheck for updates now and then. Only this time, we had this odd error crop up. Other programs, likeFirefox and VLC updated just fine.

There are several ways around this. First, I downloaded the Chrome installer and let it runagain. This is sometimes necessary - for instance, occasionally, VLC will complain about thecertificate error of mirror services, so you're better off downloading from the official site andupgrading. The same principle applies here. Only, the installer was also hanging. The installer wizardread: Waiting to download... but nothing would happen.

I do not know why the installer was stuck, but if you check Google's product and support forums,there are lots of threads around this with few common denominators as to why this is happening. Well,if the solution above does not help, the next step is to delete the Chrome update Image File ExecutionOptions (IFEO).

We talked about IFEO when I showed you how to disable the Windows GWX update tool. This is ahighly flexible and useful feature, and you can really tame and tweak the operating system to yourliking. In this case, we will delete the IFEO entry for Google Chrome update. Open regedit.exe to:

In the left pane, delete the key GoogleUpdate.exe (you may want to export it first, as a backup).Then try again and see if this fixes your problem. It ought to. However, if you're not comfortable withtinkering in the registry, then move on to the next option.

The third option is to actually download the full, offline GoogleChrome installer, which should not require an online connection (other than the initial downloadthat is). It will still display the waiting to download... message, but it should complete fine. And ifsolution(2) didn't work/you don't like it, this ought to fix it for sure. Fix it, fix it good.

When there's something wrong, in your Chrome, who you gonna call? Dedoimedo! There we go. YourChrome should be all dandy and up to date now. This tutorial offers several methods, including thesimple and straightforward reinstall, the somewhat nerdy IFEO game, and lastly the full offlinereinstall.

I really wish I had more details on the actual reasons why this problem happens, but the system logsare bereft of clues, and this is the first time I've ever encountered an update issue. Well, the doubtshall remain, but we have a working browser, and that's what matters. Hopefully, you enjoyed thispiece. Take care.

Occasionally, our customers run into a problem when installing HttpWatch on a PC or server that has no internet access, e.g. to test web servers in a locked down production environment. The HttpWatch add-on for Internet Explorer installs and works correctly but the HttpWatch Chrome extension is not added because access to the Google Web Store is required for automatic installation.

Without an internet connection the HttpWatch Chrome extension has to be manually added using the steps shown in this blog post. Although the details below relate to HttpWatch, the same technique can be used to install any Chrome extension to an offline PC.
