Old version of google-chrome starts even if newer is installed

Question

For a while I haven't received Chrome updates on Kubuntu 16.04 64-bit . I did everything written here No more updates for Google Chrome | apt-get update error

When I execute

sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

it writes

google-chrome-stable is already the newest version (56.0.2924.87-1).

but when I start chrome using

google-chrome-stable

the about:version page says

Google Chrome   49.0.2623.108 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Why is this?

Perhaps you shouldn't have done "everything". The answer has several updates (with dates), Please edit and describe exactly what you did. — , Feb 11 '17 at 20:13

Weird, but a restart solved the problem (after doing all things mentioned in the above question)

You might have some extension that kept Chrome running in the background. – muru Feb 13 '17 at 01:22
Quite likely, because the gmail offline browser plugin was running! – Peter Szanto Feb 13 '17 at 07:53
In that case killall chrome would have had the same effect. – David Foerster Feb 17 '17 at 10:26
