Do You Need Windows 11 Chrome Offline Installer?

You can use the same Windows installer to install Chrome on Windows 11. After installing Google Chrome on Windows, you will find the option to enable or disable the Windows 8 Metro Mode.

The Metro Mode on Google Chrome gives you a user interface similar to Google’s Chrome OS. You will be working on a full-screen Chrome with the feeling of owning a Chromebook. Here is a screenshot.

If you are not happy with this interface, you can always switch back to the standard Google Chrome mode by relaunching it in the regular mode (from the Settings menu).

The offline installer is used when you are unable to use the regular installer to get Chrome. The regular installer downloads a smaller file that downloads the rest of the installer and completes the installation. In case this is not working, the offline installer is the best workaround that you can try.

Installing Without Internet Connection Using Offline Installer

The offline installer is also used when a computer that you are trying to install Chrome on does not have an internet connection or has a slow internet connection. In such situations, you can download the complete offline installer setup file on a computer where you have a fast internet connection. After downloading, copy the installer to the computer where you want to install Chrome. Double-click the file to start the installation.

Another useful scenario is when you have to install Google Chrome on multiple computers. If you are to use the regular download and install process, you will end up downloading the complete file multiple times. For example, if you have ten computers to install Google Chrome on, you will download the file ten times. Imagine that the Chrome installer is 25 MB. By the time you finish installing Chrome on ten computers, you will exhaust 250MBs of your broadband usage. However, if you use the offline installer, you can reduce this usage to 25 MB. You will download it one time, copy it to all the ten computers you need to install Google Chrome and install it.

See why the offline installer file is useful?

Do Not Download from External Websites

We want to leave you with a note on security. Google Chrome has evolved into the most popular browser on the planet. Unfortunately, this has attracted many online scammers who work on creative ways to trick Chrome users into downloading malicious software.

You will find Google Chrome available for download from various sources online. However, we strongly suggest you NOT download Google Chrome from any sources. We must always download any software from the official source for safety and security. In this case, you should download Chrome only from Google’s official website.

There are a lot of risks involved in downloading the Chrome installer from an alternative source. We will not know if the software is modified to play with your privacy and browsing data. It is even possible to take complete control of your computer and the data thereof if your malware is included with the installer you download.
