The Problem
If you are a network administrator, keeping browser updated is the first thing
to do for security. Chrome is a very good browser, but it's a little bit
complicated to answer this simple question: what is the version of the latest
stable Chrome? And for people in places such as China(no Google services),
updating Chrome is not an easy task.
The Solution
The official blog of Chrome Releases contains a lot of information. Code of
this project extracts the version number from the official blog, downloads
offline installers from the official website if it's a new version, and checks
whether visitor's Chrome is exactly the same.
Security
The best part of this project - users do not need to download and run software
to be checked. This project does not even contain JavaScript.
