#' Retrieve Google Chrome Version Release History
#'
#' Reads <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history"> to build a data
#' frame of Google Chrome version release numbers and dates with semantic version
#' strings parsed and separate fields added. The data frame is also arranged in
#' order from lowest version to latest version and the `vers` column is an
#' ordered factor.
#'
#' @md
#' @note This _only_ pulls the first release date and does not distinguish by OS.
#' If more granular data is needed, file an issue or PR.
#' @export
