Google changes release schedule for Chrome
Google has changed the release schedule for Chrome so that the company can monitor the release before rolling it out to all of its users.
After a multi-week suspension, Google has announced to resume key releases for Chrome and Chrome OS by skipping a version.
Chrome 81, the upgrade that was previously slated for a March 17 debut, will instead launch in two weeks, on April 7.
Owing to the “adjusted work schedules” during the new coronavirus pandemic, the chrome release team said that it continues to closely monitor that Chrome and Chrome OS are stable, secure, and work reliably.

“M83 will be released three weeks earlier than previously planned and will include all M82 work as we cancelled the M82 release (all channels),” the Google team said in a statement on Thursday.
“Our Canary, Dev and Beta channels have or will resume this week, with M83 moving to Dev, and M81 continuing in Beta”.
Google Chrome release team said that its stable channel will resume release next week with security and critical fixes in M80, followed by the “release of M81 the week of April 7, and M83 in mid-May”.
“We’ll keep everyone informed of any changes on our schedule on our release blog and will share additional details on the schedule in the Chromium Developers group, as needed,” said the company.
