About this release
This is the full offline standalone installer for Google Chrome, the version to keep when you want to set the browser up on a machine that is offline during setup, or push it across several machines without each one pulling the payload itself. The usual download is a small stub that fetches the rest during install, this package carries the whole thing so setup finishes with no further download.
The browser itself needs little introduction. It is built on the engine that most of the web is developed and tested against, so pages render the way their authors intended, and it stays fast on heavy sites where lighter browsers stumble. Each tab runs in its own sandboxed process, so one misbehaving page does not take the rest down, and updates arrive quietly in the background when the browser is online.
The extension ecosystem is the practical reason it holds its position. Almost any tool you want, a password manager, an ad filter, a reader mode, a developer utility, exists as an extension, and the developer tools built into the browser are the reference set for anyone building for the web. Profiles keep separate sets of bookmarks, history and extensions apart on a shared machine, and everything syncs across devices when you choose to sign in.

Things worth knowing
- The offline installer is the one to use for a machine that is offline at setup or for a fleet deployment, the small stub installer is for a single online machine.
- Background updates need the browser to be online occasionally, an offline machine stays on the installed version.
- Profiles are the clean way to separate work and personal use on a shared machine.

What people are saying
The offline installer is exactly what I needed for a machine with no network at setup. Whole thing in one package.
Pushed it to a lab of machines without each one downloading separately. Silent notes made it painless.
Handles the fifty tabs I keep open better than the last build. Memory use is noticeably down.
