Updating Chrome is becoming an almost daily task lately. But it’s too important to ignore.
On Wednesday, July 8, Google released another Chrome update, just one day later after the previous one.

Google says both are “use-after-free” memory vulnerabilities, which can sometimes allow attackers to run malicious code.
