Google has issued its 4th urgent upgrade warning in two months.
In an official blog post, Google has revealed seven ‘High’ rated security threats have been discovered in Chrome with the vulnerabilities impacting Chrome users on all major operating systems: Windows, MacOS and Linux.

To combat these new threats, all Chrome users should navigate to Settings > Help > About Google Chrome. If your browser version on Linux, macOS and Windows is listed as 92.0.4515.159 or above you are safe. If not, the About screen should prompt you to update and restart your browser. You should do this immediately.

Chrome is a superb browser, but attacks are growing and there have already been eight zero day Chrome hacks this year. It is now vital to keep Chrome up-to-date at all times. Go check it now.

Good advice. Fortunately, I switched to Brave Browser and Mozilla Firefox for 2021 and onward. Much more secure than straight Google applications.

Stopped using Chrome long time ago. It's Firefox for general surfing, TOR for more serous stuff.

Chrome?
No chance. Not on my machines. Not on my Android phone.
