Google has released Chrome 83 today, May 19th, 2020, to the Stable desktop channel, and it includes massive security and privacy overhaul changes for its users.
With this release, users are getting a redesigned Privacy and security settings section, better control over cookies, a new Safety Check feature, improved DoH settings, and a new Enhanced Safe Browsing feature.
With Chrome 83 now being promoted to the Stable channel, Chrome 84 will soon be promoted to the Beta version, and Chrome 85 will be the Canary version.
As you may have realized, Google did not release Chrome 82, and instead decided to skip that version due to the pandemic and roll all of its changes into Chrome 83.
Windows, Mac, and Linux desktop users can upgrade to Chrome 83 by going to Settings -> Help -> About Google Chrome. The browser will then automatically check for the new update and install it when available.
