What URLs are used for Chrome browser updates?

Chrome browser sends requests to multiple URLs when it’s checking for and downloading updates. The order of requests is determined dynamically at runtime. Both HTTP and HTTPS protocols might be tried. The following URL list of hostnames and paths can change at any time without notice:

  • www.google.com/dl/*
  • dl.google.com/*
  • google.com/dl/*
  • *.gvt1.com
  • tools.google.com/service/update2
  • clients2.google.com
  • update.googleapis.com/service/update2
  • clients4.google.com
  • m.google.com/.../api

Note: Although caching Chrome browser to download on computers across your organization isn’t officially supported, you can use the first 2 HTTP URLs in the list to cache the updated files for your organization.
