I'm having a problem updating Chrome v81 - its' stuck in a relaunch loop. Would downloading and running an installer instead of trying to update inside the browser possibly work?

Edit: I downloaded and ran the x64 installer and it didn't make a difference; the browser loads the same "relaunch to finish updating" page which doesn't work.

If you are willing to sacrifice some of your browsing data for a short period for better protection, then Enhanced Safe Browsing is an option that you should enable.

I am not so sure that I wish to avail myself of this "improvement". My immediate reaction is, too many protection cooks spoil he stew, followed closely by this just sounds like an attempt to garner more information from Chrome users. I am not planning on enabling this feature.

How to enable the new Google Chrome 83 features now
May 20, 2020
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/how-to-enable-the-new-google-chrome-83-features-now/

Google released Chrome 83 yesterday, and with it came numerous features such as a new Incognito cookie control, a Security check feature, new Security settings page, the Tabs Group feature, a new extensions menu, and redesigned cookie controls.

The problem, though, is that many of these features in this massive update have not been enabled yet by Google and will be slowly rolled out over time.
If you are like me and want to play with all the new goodies, the good news is that you can use some Chrome flags to enable these features now. [...]

How to download Google Chrome's offline installer
May 23, 2020
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/how-to-download-google-chromes-offline-installer/

Google Chrome is the most popular browser in the world, but its standard installer won't work if you are not connected to the Internet or can't reach their servers. This is where a Google Chrome offline installer comes into play as it contains all the files it needs to install the browser.

This installer, though, will fail if you are prepping a new computer and do not have Internet connectivity yet or are having trouble connecting to Google's servers.
Download Google Chrome offline installer
To download the Google Chrome offline installer, or Chrome Standalone installer as they call it, follow these steps:

• Use this special URL when visiting Google Chrome's download site. [...]
Once Chrome is installed and connected to the Internet, you should then click on the Chrome menu and select Help -> About Google Chrome to download any available updates and install them.

Chrome 84 will block intrusive notifications, permission requests from abusive sites
May 28, 2020
https://9to5google.com/2020/05/28/chrome-84-notification-block/

Earlier this year, Google introduced a quieter permissions UI for denying notification requests. Chrome 84 in July will automatically block intrusive notifications and other prompts on abusive sites.
According to Google, abusive notification prompts are “one of the top user complaints.”

There are two distinct sets of issues:

Permission request issues are requests designed to mislead, trick, or force users into allowing notifications. [...] Notification issues include fake messages that resemble chat messages, warnings, or system dialogs.
With Chrome 84, Google is combating the problem by preventing sites with abusive permission requests or notifications from throwing up those prompts. The browser will specifically enroll those sites into the quieter notifications UI introduced in February.

Google notes that a “large percentage of notification requests and notifications come from a small number of abusive sites.”

Google Chrome is soon going to be installed in a different directory on Windows
June 11, 2020
https://www.ghacks.net/2020/06/11/g...nstalled-in-a-different-directory-on-windows/

If you use a 64-bit installation of Google Chrome on a Windows device, you may know that the browser's default installation folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\. Similarly, if you install other Chromium-based browsers, you may notice that the 64-bit installations of these get installed in the same program files folder.
The fact that Chrome installs the 64-bit version in the folder designated for 32-bit application installations is puzzling but the browser is definitely not the only 64-bit program on Windows that installs in the wrong folder. The installation folder does not impact functionality of the program in question.

Starting soon, Google Chrome will install in the C:\Program Files\ folder by default on Windows if it is a 64-bit installer. Chrome 64-bit versions installed in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ folder will continue to work and will be updated just like before.
It is interesting to note that the bug was opened more than six years ago. Google noted back then that the behavior was intentional and that it had plans to move 64-bit Chrome to the right program folder on Windows.

Google to test simplified domain display in Chrome
June 15, 2020
https://www.ghacks.net/2020/06/15/google-to-test-simplified-domain-display-in-chrome/

Google Chrome users may soon see only the domain name in the web browser's address bar instead of the full page address.

Google published several development bugs on the Chromium website that highlight the changes. The main bugs, Issue 895940 Experiment with trimming everything but the Origin for Steady State Elisions, and Issue 1090393: Implement simplified domain display in the omnibox, highlight what the experiment entails.
When enabled in the browser, Chrome will only show the domain name and not the full page URL. If you are on the page https://www.ghacks.net/2020/06/09/microsoft-windows-security-updates-june-2020-overview/, Google Chrome will only show https://www.ghacks.net/ by default.

The company plans to run the experiment on desktop and mobile versions of its web browser, and has created several new experimental flags for that.
Click to expand...

Google plans to collect and analyze data to find out if the display of just the domain name improves the fight against malicious sites. If that is the case, it may roll out the change to all Chrome users. The company notes that users will have an option to opt-out when that happens.
