Chrome is rolling out an update for its desktop browser. The update includes 26 security fixes, two of which Google rates as critical use-after-free vulnerabilities. The Stable channel has been updated to 152.0.7977.75/.76 for Windows and Mac, and 152.0.7977.75 for Linux.

Restart Chrome to complete the update, and you’ll be protected against these vulnerabilities.
