The Google Chrome 61 will be available for update on Windows, macOS and Linux platforms. As regards to security, it will be ideal to update your Chrome browser to the latest stable version.
You can force-run an update check by entering 'chrome://help' in the address bar. The browser should then query its update servers and download the update.
You may notice a change in the location of the help page. That's because Chrome 61 changes the help location from the previous location to 'chrome://settings/help'. It also looks more like the settings page to ensure uniformity in design.
At the moment, there is little information on the new features present in the Google Chrome 61 aside the security fixes and improvements made.
Here are some of the more significant changes in the update:
1. Add initial set of new default user images.
2. Autoplay policy for HTML5 video: chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy
3. Data Saver site breakdown doesn't add up to totals on version update. Also, don't show negative savings.
4. DevTools: Add 'Save profile' toolbar button to performance panel.
5. Disable first run for managed profiles.
6. [Extensions] Don't allow content scripts on the New Tab Page.
Enable automatically detected CUPS printers in the print preview dialog.
7. Enable asm.js -> WebAssembly by default.
8. Keep scanned host devices in the cache for longer (from 5 minutes to 2 hours).
9. Move extension unzip/unpack to background thread to prevent the blocking of the main utility thread.
10. On dual-GPU macs, blacklist MSAA for both GPUs if either is Intel.
11. Switch pause/mute buttons' locations in RTL languages
