Google has urged Chrome users to update as yet another emergency security fix is released.
Google has confirmed multiple new vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chrome that impact the browser across all major platforms. Google confirmed the vulnerabilities on its Chrome blog post, revealing 30 new security flaws have been discovered in Chrome, seven of which it says pose a ‘High’ threat level to users. They affect Chrome on Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile.
What You Should Do
To protect users, Google has released Chrome 101.0.4951.41 which will “roll out over the coming days/weeks” but you can beat the queue by forcing Chrome to manually check for the update:
- Click the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome
- Click Settings > Help > About Google Chrome.
- Wait for Chrome to find and install the update.
- When prompted, restart Chrome (this final step is important!)
