The fifth was discovered internally and Google does not reveal information about security issues discovered internally. The company lists four of them on the official Chrome Releases blog. Google fixed five security issues in the Chrome web browser. Google released updates for Chrome for iOS and Android as well, but these do not address security issues according to the short release notes on the Chrome releases blog. Google plans to roll out the update to the entire Chrome population "over the coming days/weeks". The version should be the following one after the update, depending on the operating system that is used on the device: Chrome will download and install any update that it finds during the check. Chrome users may select Menu > Help > About Google Chrome, or load chrome://settings/help directly, to display the installed version and run a check for updates.
It’s not quite the pioneer it was, but Chrome continues to evolve interesting new features and performance tweaks to make it a decent alternative to your existing browser.The security update is available already and most Chrome installations should be updated to the new release automatically. While the competition has definitely caught up, Chrome has enough going for it to keep existing users happy supporting the browser that has led to so many improvements in the way we view and access the web. It bundles the Flash plug-in so you don’t have to download it separately and the browser sync function makes it easy to back up and sync your settings across multiple computers. It’s still quick to load, quick to perform and easy to use. Oh, Chrome was also the first to adopt a rapid release cycle, so if you’re fed up with a new browser number appearing in the About menu every few months, you can thank Google for that too.Ĭhrome may no longer look like the dazzling young starlet, but it more than holds its own against the competition. Chrome was the first to provide a resource-friendly browser that loaded quickly and didn’t suck the life out of your system, although again the competition has now caught up – and in some cases – surpassed its achievements. It was Chrome’s sleek tab-driven interface with minimal real estate that was adopted by Firefox and then Internet Explorer (now Edge).
Both browsers have improved massively in recent years, but part of that improvement is down to the growth in rival browsers like Google’s open-source alternative.Ĭhrome is no longer the young upstart it once was, and its pioneering spirit is often forgotten in the mists of time.
Many people are happy to stick with the default browser set up when they fire up their computer for the first time, which means Edge if you’re a Windows 10 user and Safari if you’re on an Apple Mac.
