Select Chrome from the Apple/System bar at the top of the screen. Select Preferences. From the drop-down menu. In the left-hand column, select Settings.
Google Chrome is set to automatically update when you restart it. But if you leave it open for days, you miss out on groovy new features. Here’s how to manually update it.
The Google Chrome browser is set to automatically update itself to the latest version – if you restart it, that is. Most people probably close out of it and relaunch it every day or few days. However, there are some (including me) who leave it open for days or even weeks with 50 tabs open, and we miss the updates.
I realized this was the case yesterday when I read about Google’s new “conversational search” feature. You can only use it with the latest version of Chrome.
Update Google Chrome – Option 1
1. To manually update to the latest version click the Options > Help > About Google Chrome.
2. There you’ll see the current version you’re running and that an update is available. Click Relaunch, and you’ll be running the latest version in no time.
Update Google Chrome – Option 2
1. A quick shortcut to the above process is to just type: chrome://chrome/ into the URL address bar. Cr2 file converter for mac.
2. This will take you to the Chrome, About page. If an update is needed, just click Relaunch.
If you like to stay on tops of things and make sure your software is up-to-date as soon as possible. This is a great way to make sure you have the latest security patches and new features for Chrome. You have the control to make sure you have “the latest and greatest” instead of waiting on the browser to choose when you receive updates. Thanks to Dan in our comments section for this second option!
This guide will step you through the process of getting JavaScript enabled in Google Chrome.
Get JavaScript
Click the 'Customize and Control' button
In the top-right corner of the Chrome window you'll see the Customise menu icon - it looks like three little black dots on top of each other - click it.
This will reveal a menu with lots of options. One of them will be named 'Settings'.
Select the 'Settings' menu item
The Settings screen will now appear.
Search for the JavaScript settings
When you click the Settings menu item, the settings screen for Chrome will load. At the very top is a search box labeled Search settings.
Type in the word javascript into the search field (it's not case sensitive). As you start to type you will see Chrome start to change what's shown on the settings page.
It will reveal the 'Site settings' section with the yellow 'JavaScript' callout.
When you see Site settings click on it
Find and click the JavaScript settings item
The Site Settings for Chrome has lots of permissions you can change; the JavaScript one is close to the bottom, so you may need to scroll down to find it.
Change the JavaScript setting
The setting you need to change to enable or disable JavaScript is at the top of the screen - it's a small sliding control - click to toggle it on or off (dark blue is 'on')
This setting will control JavaScript on all websites you visit, however you can also use the Block and Allow sections underneath to add override settings for particular websites. For example, if you normally want to have JavaScript enabled but also wish to disable it for one or two particular websites you can add them to the 'Block' section.
Once you have made your setting (either enabled JavaScript or disabled it) you can now simply close this Settings tab and resume your normal web browsing with your new setting.
JavaScript is now enabled
Congratulations, you just enabled JavaScript. Click here to confirm that JavaScript is now enabled.
