• Open Chrome on your machine.
• Look at More in the upper right corner.
• The icon will be colored if an update is pending:
• Green: A new update was just issued a few days ago.
  
• Orange: About 4 days ago, an update was released.
  
• Red: It's been at least a week since an update was provided.
