Google released a security update for Chrome that fixes 18 vulnerabilities, including four rated Critical. There is no indication that any of these newly patched bugs are being actively exploited in the wild.
The stable channel has been updated to 149.0.7827.196/197 for Windows and Mac and 149.0.7827.196 for Linux. The update will roll out over the coming days and weeks. Chrome for Android was also recently updated to 149.0.7827.197.
How to update Chrome
If you don’t want to wait for the rollout to reach you, manually updating is easy.
The easiest option is to allow Chrome to update automatically. But you can end up lagging behind on updates if you never close your browser or if something goes wrong, such as an extension preventing the update.
