    Chrome 51.0.2704.106 m

    Offline Installers
    (no redirection towards landing pages)
    Consumer version
    x86
    redirector.gvt1.com/edgedl/release2/e2srfdkmm1xkiaoeal2hb7bpzg4dtlao5abdz5yyin6gwroovt2b42lmjc1l86cnll7tth6cyba2sot3gnid3b3ysoxz5y6pj49/51.0.2704.106_chrome_installer.exe

    Enterprise version (msi installers)
    x86 https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/googlechromestandaloneenterprise.msi
    x64 https://dl.google.com/dl/chrome/install/googlechromestandaloneenterprise64.msi

    Differences between Consumer and Enterprise versions
    1. Enterprise lands in Program Files (x86) even though x64 is used, while Consumer in AppData.
    2. In a multi-user scenario, msi installs Chrome for all users by default.

    Here are a couple other features you should be aware of:
    1. If a user already had the Consumer version installed and you push out the Enterprise edition to their machine, the next time they launch the Consumer edition it will detect that the Enterprise edition is installed. After displaying an explanatory message to the user, the Consumer edition uninstalls itself, the user's Chrome shortcuts are updated and the Enterprise edition is launched.
    2. The user's personal settings from the Consumer edition will be picked up by the Enterprise edition, as long as the version number of the Enterprise edition is greater or equal to the Consumer edition.

    Therefore, I recommend to install Enterprise on a clean fresh system.
    Also I recommend Enterprise version for those who are using programs like AppGuard or ReHIPS which block running programs from AppData folder.

    I read where chrome removed the direct write flag in v52, now the fonts on certain sites look like crap especially on webstore...is there any other fix for this?

    for me directwrite fixes skinny fonts, as skinny fonts seem to be in fashion on various websites, the issue is tho directwrite also makes smooth scrolling laggy on some sites as directwrite for whatever reason struggles in some cases.
