Google Chrome shows to me the notification that version 81 is out of date.

I tried to update Google Chrome using this command:

sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

or

sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install google-chrome-stable

But the result is the same:

google-chrome-stable is already the newest version (81.0.4044.92-1)

Then I used this decision but nothing changed: https://askubuntu.com/a/1276010/1067426

How can I update Google Chrome? What's wrong?

I do not want to uninstall and reinstall from .deb. I think there is another way

  • Simply download .deb package from https://www.google.com/chrome/ and install it with dpkg -i ...deb. It will automatically add the PPA and update automatically in the future. – FedKad Sep 20 '20 at 10:23
  • When installing most third party programs, Ubuntu usually asks if you want it updated with the rest of the system. You probably missed it or said no, which is why it is not updating. Need someone else to say if it can be changed after. – crip659 Sep 20 '20 at 11:23
  • Please [edit] your question and add the output of apt-cache policy google-chrome-stable. – Kulfy Sep 20 '20 at 16:24
