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.
How to update Chrome
The easiest option is to allow Chrome to update automatically. But you can end up lagging behind if you never close your browser or if something goes wrong with the update.

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