A new Chrome version, Chrome 100, was released by Google today, bringing the number of Chrome versions to 100. Stable versions of Chrome 100 are now available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS. For the first time since 2014, Google has updated the Chrome browser’s logo with a new design.
There would be a party in honor of the most widely used web browser turning 100 years old. Most of it, however, has been restricted by Google to showing Chrome’s success since 2008 when it was first released. As a result, Google has launched a new blog on its developers’ website, where it discusses Chrome’s history, potential issues with going to triple digits, and new opportunities for website developers to take advantage of. The update does not include any brand-new capabilities.
Many of the problems with Chrome 100 have already been resolved, according to Google. It does, however, encourage webmasters to try out Chrome 100 and let Google know if they have any problems. “It’s coming soon,” says Mozilla in a statement about the upcoming Firefox 100.
“It’s possible that these three-digit version numbers could cause problems on sites that rely on identifying the browser version in some other way,” writes Pete LePage, a Google Developer Advocate. As a result, Google will benefit from user feedback and reports of any compatibility issues with Chrome 100. “If you maintain a website, make sure you test it with Chrome and Firefox 100,” LePage advises website administrators.

The 100th birthday of the world’s most popular web browser was bound to be a big deal. Most of it, however, has been restricted by Google to showing Chrome’s success since 2008 when it was first released. Thus, Google’s developers’ website now features a brand-new blog post detailing Chrome’s history, as well as any potential issues that may arise when the browser reaches version triple digits. The update does not include any brand-new capabilities.

Chrome 100 brings a few more enhancements for developers. If you don’t see the new version on your Chrome browser right away, you can expect to see it in the next few days or weeks. As a result, be on the lookout for any new information.
