Downloading Chrome

Unlike Internet Explorer or Safari, Chrome does not come pre-installed with your operating system. To use Chrome, you must first download and install it to your computer. The process is very simple and should take no more than a few minutes.

To Download and Install Chrome:

  1. Using your current web browser, navigate to www.google.com/chrome.
  2. The Google Chrome download page will appear. Locate and select the download button.
