Google typically releases new versions every six weeks, fixing bugs and introducing new features to try to make the web a more powerful foundation for apps. That's because closed schools, telecommuting and other factors are affecting people whose jobs are already mostly virtual.Ĭhrome is the most widely used browser, accounting for 64 percent of web browsing activity, according to analytics firm StatCounter. Google's announcement shows that even people who deal solely with computers for a living are also being affected. The novel coronavirus and the COVID-19 infection it causes have hammered businesses, especially those that rely on shipping, factories and other real-world resources affected by lockdowns to slow the virus' spread. Microsoft will also release security updates to the existing version, along with regular updates to Edge beta and other test versions, said Kyle Pflug, an Edge principle product manager. Many non-Google browsers are based on Chromium source code including Brave, Vivaldi, Microsoft Edge and several others. Microsoft's new Edge browser is based on Chromium - Google's open-source software foundation to Chrome - and it's now paused too.
