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.

They already have that stuff.

Hopefully they are reading FR—they might learn something!

Interesting! I am using the Brave browser. Just checked my version and this is what I got. Looks like Brave has "blended" with Google Chrome a little too closely for my personal comfort level.

Version 0.60.48 Chromium: 72.0.3626.121 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Dayglored, what is your professional opinion?

Never heard of it. I am stuck using the most popular browsers, so that I can frequently check our company websites to ensure they are working correctly. So I use chrome, which is over 75% of the browser market, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.
