Update Chrome now to protect against an actively exploited vulnerability

Chrome is rolling out an update for its desktop browser. The update includes 230 security fixes, one of which is known to be actively exploited.

The stable channel has been updated to 153.0.8010.36/.37 for Windows and Mac, and 153.0.8010.36 for Linux.

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.
