How to see if Chrome is out of date

Open Chrome. Look at the menu on the right side of the web address bar at the top of Chrome. If you see an arrow or exclamation point, instead of the usual three dots, it needs updating. The color of the icon will depend on how old the update is. If it is red, as in this example, it has been at least a week since the update was available.
