Google Chrome update via Intune (Endpoint)
Hi, What is the fastest way to enforce Google Chrome update via Intune? Google released a important update for 7 high risk vulnerabilities. Thanks

I am also struggeling with this one. Auto update seems the best solution I guess.

Mozilla Firefox launched a Microsoft Store app lately, maybe Google considers to do so in the near future!?

From experience those Store apps have not been the ones to receive a lot of updates.
How is Google Chrome deployed via Intune?
If it's deployed via MSI/Win32 it should not be an issue uploading the new version and target it as a Supersedence to the previous one. Just make sure your detection rules check the installed version aswell.

That is a true story. But the effort you have to put into keeping Google Chrome up-to-date is tremendous. This is the update history the browser only:

Stable channel seems to update about 2 times month and i doubt google changes their installations/uninstallations methods in those times. Does not seem like to much effort to me, but if the time it takes is your biggest issue self-updating google chrome would be my go-to.
