How can I install an old version of Google Chrome

Taking denilson-sá's answer further...

You need revision numbers to grab downloads. So first lookup the full version string from the following URL, adjusting parameters as needed:

https://omahaproxy.appspot.com/history.json?channel=stable&os=mac

For Chrome version 28 the full version string is 28.0.1500.71. Now go to https://omahaproxy.appspot.com and enter the full version string ("28.0.1500.71") into the Position Lookup box. Copy the Base Position number ("209842" in this case).

You can use that base position number and platform as a filter at either of these URLs:

  • http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/index.html
  • http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html

You probably won't have a perfect match on the base position number but you can at least use it to get close to the version you want.


You can try browsing from Chromium continuous build archives:

http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/index.html

It has build numbers instead of version numbers. Still, at least this one is an official website, and it can be trusted.


The site http://www.go4it.ro/download/internet/google-chrome-28-11113372/ downloads a 33 MB file - can't check the version though without uninstalling and have not verified whether the site is trustworthy. Re-uploading to http://www.virustotal.com might be a good idea.

Found this by Googling another variation: chrome 28 download
