Google announced that it will resume pushing updates for the Chrome browser and Chrome OS operating system.

Affected by the epidemic, the number of Google office personnel has been greatly reduced, and many employees work from home, which has affected the development progress. Therefore, Google announced on March 19 that updates of Chrome browser and Chrome OS will be suspended and only necessary security updates will be maintained.

However, it seems that Google engineers have adapted to remote working and returned to work. Google announced that it will push the security update for the current version of Chrome 80 on March 30. The Chrome 81 originally planned to be pushed on March 17 will be postponed to the week of April 7. release.

Chrome 82, originally planned to be released on April 28, will be cancelled, and the relevant new features will be merged into the Chrome 83 version released the week of May 19.

In addition, Google plans to release Chrome 84 the week of July 14th.

Previously, Microsoft's Edge browser also followed Google's footsteps and announced that it would suspend updates to Edge 81, and it seems that it is expected to resume updates simultaneously.
