Google has confirmed multiple new high-severity security vulnerabilities for the Chrome browser
I spoke too soon when I reported yesterday that Google had confirmed a relatively rare update just for Android users of the Chrome browser. Windows, Linux, and Mac users can no longer breathe easy and instead should now also be checking that their Chrome browsers are updated as soon as possible. Why the change? Because Google has now confirmed that billions of users of the most popular web browser on the planet are affected by the latest security vulnerabilities.
Users of other Chromium-powered web browsers such as Brave and Edge should also be alert to the fact that security updates will likely follow in the coming days. I will update this article as soon as I can confirm those updates have rolled out, with instructions on what you need to do. Of course, Chrome for Android users also still need to ensure that the app is updated, as below.
I have reached out to Microsoft to ask what the reasons are for this delay and, indeed, why Microsoft Edge users always seem to have to wait longer than Chrome, Brave or Opera users to be protected from known vulnerabilities. The Microsoft press office assures me they will look into this for me, so I hope to be able to update you with an answer in due course.
