I notice this once every few months when I need Chrome for something and then it says that this version is too old to auto update and shows how to re-download newest version. Same happens with the PC of some older relatives, they don't use it for a month or two and then call me saying that Chrome is again "broken"/"red" (the update button changes color to red when it hasn't been updated for some time) ...
My question is why can't a semi-old browser just update itself or do the re-download itself? Aren't they supposed to be "evergreen"? Looked online but couldn't find any answer.
Edit: this issue only happens when the browser hasn't been used in a while (like more than two months) and didn't have a chance to update itself. Then it refuses to auto update from an semi-old version automatically and tells you to manually re-download it.
"Evergreen" when it comes to browsers just means that they try to update themselves rather than letting the OS handle the process, it doesn't mean it's always successful :)
