Is My Browser Up to Date?

Running an outdated browser can expose you to security risks and poor performance. Here's how to make sure you're using the latest version.

Why Keeping Your Browser Updated Matters

Modern browsers release updates regularly to address security vulnerabilities, improve speed, add features, and ensure compatibility with new web technologies. If you’re not using the latest version, you might miss out—or worse, be at risk.

How to Check for Browser Updates

Most browsers update automatically, but you can still check manually:

Chrome

• Go to ⋮ menu > Help > About Google Chrome.
• If an update is available, Chrome will begin downloading it automatically.
• Restart to apply the update.

Firefox

• Click the menu (☰) > Help > About Firefox.
• It will check and install updates automatically.

Safari

• Updates are managed through macOS Software Update.
• Click the Apple menu > System Preferences > Software Update.

Edge

• Click the ⋯ menu > Help and feedback > About Microsoft Edge.
• Edge will display the version and check for updates automatically.

Mobile Browsers

Updates for mobile browsers are tied to the app store. Go to Google Play or the App Store and search for your browser. If "Update" appears, you’re not running the latest version.

How to Check Automatically

Use our What Is My Browser tool — it instantly shows your version and device info. From there, you can verify if you're on the latest version using the official website of your browser.
