Google Chrome remains the world's most popular web browser, delivering speed, security, and simplicity in one streamlined package - and this page bundles the full offline installer alongside the version-matched ChromeDriver developers actually need.
Most people land on a Chrome download page for one of three reasons:
the official Google online installer failed on a restricted PC, they need a 64-bit offline build to deploy across multiple machines, or they need a ChromeDriver version that exactly matches the Chrome release they are running.
This page solves all three in one place.
The Offline Installer Problem
Google's default chrome.com download is an online stub installer - a tiny launcher that pulls the real binaries from Google's servers during setup.
That is fine on a fast home connection, but it breaks the moment you hit any of these scenarios:
- Corporate networks where outbound connections to update.googleapis.com are blocked
- Air-gapped lab machines, kiosks, or PCs in regions with unstable connectivity
- IT admins deploying Chrome to dozens of endpoints from a single MSI cache
- Reinstalling Chrome on a system that just got reformatted and has no working browser
The full Chrome 147 offline installer on this page is a single self-contained .exe (ChromeStandaloneSetup64.exe for 64-bit, ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe for 32-bit) that installs without needing an internet connection during setup.
Drop it on a USB stick once and you can install Chrome on any Windows 10 or 11 machine for the next several months.
The ChromeDriver Version-Matching Problem
If you write Selenium tests, RPA scripts, or any automated browser flow, you already know the pain: ChromeDriver only works when its major version exactly matches the installed Chrome browser.
Chrome auto-updates on Tuesday, your test suite breaks on Wednesday, and you spend Thursday hunting for the correct chromedriver-win64.zip on a poorly indexed Google storage URL.
This page lists Chrome 147 and the matching ChromeDriver 147 builds side by side, so you can grab both at once.
If you only need the automation server without the full browser install, the standalone ChromeDriver page hosts every recent build including the upcoming 148 stable.
For developers who want to test against the bleeding-edge engine before it ships in Chrome stable, Chromium is the open-source upstream that Chrome is built from.
When You Cannot Install Anything at All
Some Windows machines are locked down so tightly that even a signed Google installer fails - school lab PCs, hot-desk workstations, family computers where you do not want your accounts mixed with someone else's.
For those, Google Chrome Portable is the same Blink engine and same sync infrastructure packaged to run from a single folder on a USB drive.
No installer runs, no registry keys are written, and your bookmarks, passwords, and extensions follow the stick across machines.
What Chrome 147 Actually Gives You
Beyond the standard Safe Browsing, automatic security patching, and cross-device password sync, Chrome 147 ships with hardware-accelerated AV1 decoding, native WebP and AVIF image support, WebGPU for GPU-backed graphics in the browser, and the full Chrome Web Store extension catalogue.
The browser handles modern streaming codecs without any external pack, which is why most "MP4 will not play in browser" troubleshooting threads end with "just use Chrome".
For users who rely on extensions, the Web Store offers thousands of add-ons covering ad blockers, password managers, tab organizers, and developer tools. Sign-in syncs everything across desktop, laptop, phone, and tablet through your Google account.
If Chrome Is Not the Right Fit
Chrome is fast and well-supported, but it is also the most-tracked browser on the planet. If that bothers you, several alternatives ship with the same Chromium engine and most of the same compatibility:
Brave Browser blocks ads and trackers by default and rewards browsing with optional crypto incentives. Vivaldi Browser layers heavy customization, tab stacking, and split-screen views on top of Chromium.
Opera Browser ships with a built-in VPN, ad blocker, and AI assistant, while Opera GX adds CPU and RAM limiters aimed at gamers. Microsoft Edge is the closest Chrome equivalent on Windows with tighter OS integration and Copilot AI built in.
For a complete break from the Chromium ecosystem, Mozilla Firefox uses the independent Gecko engine with Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled out of the box, and Tor Browser routes traffic through onion relays for anonymous browsing. AI-first browsers like Comet Browser bundle Perplexity directly into the address bar.
You can browse the full catalogue on the Web Browsers page to compare every option side by side.
System Requirements
Chrome 147 requires Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit recommended, 32-bit still supported).
The full offline installer is approximately 100 MB, the online stub installer is about 1.5 MB, and ChromeDriver win64 is around 10 MB. macOS, Linux, and Android builds are available from Google directly.
