Most Chrome installs will update themselves automatically when restarted, so the easiest way to update is just restart the browser.

Another good article on this from The Register:
Put down the cat, coffee, beer pint, martini, whatever you're holding, and make sure you've updated Chrome (unless you enjoy being hacked)

I just checked, the version of Chrome I am running now is the right (latest) one. Must have updated automatically.

Who here’s stupid enough to still be using ANY google-linked program?

I mean, if I want my personal data, web-browsing history, passwords, credit card data and all that to go directly to the NSA/DOJ/INTERPOL I’d just send it to them, why use an intermediary?

:: FileReader is a embedded program in most browsers that allows web apps to read the contents of a user’s local file system ::

Yet, everyone will pass this by and dutifully update their Chrome. Then, they will get the security agreement, never read it and click “I Agree”.

Thanks for posting this. I’m running Chrome. And since yesterday why I try to go to the Verizon website, I get redirected to some fake site. Now maybe I know why.

My bank is telling me I cannot perform a particular transaction in my accounts unless I use CHROME.

AND I AM FURIOUS.

I’ve started to do all my browsing in a Virtual Machine instance running in VirtualBox, that has nothing else on it.
