Google Chrome on Sony devices

Sony

Sony devices ship with Google Chrome as the default browser. Google Chrome is baked 
into the firmware of the device. Different versions of the firmware come with different 
versions of Google Chrome.

Usually the version that comes with the firmware is updated using Google Play, however... 
When first starting up the device Sony does not ask the user to log into Google Play. 
This means that unless you manually open Google Play and log in, the devices does not 
receive any updates using Google Play. In this case Google Chrome is only updated when 
the user installs a firmware update.

What we expect to see is a portion of Sony users running the latest evergreen version of 
Chrome - because they manually logged into Google Play and regularly receive updates. 
Another portion of Sony users are using the version of Google Chrome that came with the 
firmware of the phone - they never got any updates. 

And that is exactly what we are seeing. Some very specific older versions of Chrome are 
still very popular among Sony users. These are the version that came with the phone. 
The latest versions of Chrome are also very popular. Other versions of Chrome are almost 
not in use anymore.
