14. I just discovered: Menu icon - Help - About Google Chrome

I just did it a few minutes ago, and it said "Updating Chrome" and showed a rotating circle and a certain percent complete, followed by the version number and "Google Chrome is up to date."

Later I did it again, and it momentarily flashed "Checking for updates" and then said "Google Chrome is up to date."
