As the name suggests, today we are going to discuss a very controversial topic and that is “How to downgrade chrome”. Actually if I have to advise you something on this I would probably tell you not to downgrade chrome anyway. I am saying this topic as controversial because neither Google nor we recommend you to use older versions of Google chrome. But still the need for downgrading chrome can arise for instance: if some of your software’s are incompatible with the new release or you don’t like the look and feel of the newly released version. Then in these cases there is no option other than downgrading.
So, we quickly go to the steps for chrome downgrade:
1. First of all go to the “Control Panel > Uninstall a program” and uninstall Google chrome.
2. Now even after the uninstall the user profile is left behind in the chrome and this user profile is incompatible with the newer versions so now you have to manually delete this profile.
3. This User profile can be found here:
- In Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome
- In Windows 7 and Vista: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google Chrome
4. Now Restart your computer.
5. After restarting the computer you can now install the older stable versions of Google chrome.
6. You can get the older chrome installers below:
- Google Chrome 6.0 stable version offline installer
- Google Chrome 5.0 stable version offline installer
- Google Chrome 4.0 stable version offline installer
- Google Chrome 3.0 stable offline installer
- Google Chrome 2.0 stable offline installer
Please make a note of one important thing, after installing older Google chrome versions you won’t be able to auto upgrade it online.
