Hello!

Version 94?
When did you last update Chrome if I may be so blunt to ask?

Latest version is 136.0.7091.2.
For me Chrome updates installs with all other updates when I do a "apt
update && apt upgrade".

I've never seen the update mechanism you mention, except for years ago
(if not decades) on a Windows computer.

Where did you get Chrome v94?

I use Kubuntu 24.04.2, it shouldn't be that different from yours.
