How to Update Your Internet Browsers: Chrome and Edge

If you’ve ever had a website not load correctly, buttons not respond, or tools act glitchy in your browser, the issue might not be the website — it might be your browser version.

Keeping your browser updated is one of the simplest ways to protect your device and improve performance. Modern browsers like Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome release regular updates that include critical security patches. These updates protect you from malware, phishing attacks, and newly discovered vulnerabilities. In a school or workplace setting, that protection is essential.

Updates also improve speed and compatibility. Web-based tools, Microsoft 365 apps, learning management systems, and AI platforms are constantly evolving. An outdated browser can cause features to break or not display properly. Staying current ensures everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

The best part? Both Edge and Chrome make updating quick and automatic in most cases. A simple check ensures you’re running the latest version and getting the full benefit of improved security and performance.
