I have a problem with the latest version of Chrome (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31225926/how-do-i-download-a-file-with-webdriver-in-the-latest-chrome-version-43-0-2357-1) so I need to download and install the previous version of Chrome. A few places suggest FileHippo or OldVersion, but FileHippo only redirects to Google's Chrome download page and OldVersion only goes up to version 23.

http://filehippo.com/download_google_chrome/history/2/

http://www.oldversion.com/windows/google-chrome/

All the similar questions are out of date.

I already turned off auto update by setting the registry key.

You can look up the build version of a Chromium version on https://omahaproxy.appspot.com. Simply paste the version (e.g. 40.0.2172.0) into the position lookup field and submit.

In the output the "base position" represents the build number.

example

With this number you can finally find the corresponding download on either:

  1. this page - for builds before early 2016, or
  2. this page - for builds since early 2016

Updated links may be found on the Getting Involved page of the Chromium Wiki.

I've found this page in case anyone is looking for old versions of Chrome. It only goes back to as early as Chrome 48. But they do provide full binary package for the Windows version in the form of a self-extracting zip archive.

You can get an older version of Chromium from Google's continuous integration servers at http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/index.html.

Chromium is using the same code-base as Google Chrome but does not include certain things like the built-in Flash plugin and support for some audio/video codecs (e.g. MP3).

NOTE: Google has switched to another build integration server, therefore the given build server only hosts binaries built until 2014.

For newer versions you can follow the same approach as shown in this script: https://github.com/scheib/chromium-latest-linux/blob/master/update.sh

Also have a look at https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium

Personally, I prefer to download portable versions when dealing with older versions of software. Luckily, Google Chrome is one of those. SourceForge seems to keep a long history of PortableApps, so I recommend them for getting old versions of Chrome:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Google%20Chrome%20Portable/

I need to do some testing between Chrome 60 and 59, so I am going to install Chrome 59 as a portable app now.
