ChromeDownloader: Obtains information about the current version of Chrome for different hardware and operating systems

Inspired by COI by lyonna, this tool provides a command-line interface to download or collect information about various versions of the Google Chrome offline installation packages. The goal of this project was to provide access to the still maintained v109 builds for Windows Server 2012 and 2012r2 for updating devices that are not connected to the Internet. Google has yet to provide a means to fulfill this need so here we are.

Obtains information about the current version of Chrome for different hardware and operating systems, optionally downloading, exporting as JSON, XML or displaying information.

Note: While you can use any value for the OS version, unsupported operating systems do not receive security updates and the versions available for download from Google are not secure and are not supported. Likewise, not all operating systems support both a 32-bit and 64-bit version.

Please don't run code you don't understand. While this is free, functional, and works in all my testing, it may not work for you. There is no guarantee or support provided outside of the issues page. If you don't know what to do, find a trusted advisor to help you set up your environment.
