It works on Windows, Linux, and macOS using native OS detection and requires no external dependencies or Selenium. The package provides both a Python API (import and call get_chrome_version()) and a command-line tool (chrome-version) that prints the version string directly.\n\nThe module was created to avoid copy-pasting version-detection code across projects, particularly for use with tools like Undetected Chromedriver. It is actively maintained, supports Python 3.0 and above, and is distributed under the MIT license. The codebase is intentionally simple and educational, making it a practical choice when you need only the Chrome version without the overhead of a browser automation framework.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is lightweight, dependency-free, actively maintained, and solves a specific problem cleanly. Install it if you need to detect Chrome version on any platform without adding framework overhead. No security issues, permissive license, and low install friction make it a safe choice."},"id":"chrome-version","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/chrome-version","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/chrome-version.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/chrome-version/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-08-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"chrome-version","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Detect the version of Chrome installed on Windows, Linux, Mac.
