If not, you must update urgently - something Chrome should prompt you to do on its About page.

It actually kicked off the update without prompting me. Thanks for the info.

Software engineers who understand what’s inside will tell you: Chrome is shit.

I’m hating google more and more every month.

Unfortunately, firefox has turned to crap and IE is ridiculously antiquated.

I’ve been using Brave a little more, but mostly to get past the “free read” limits and ad-blocker blockers that some news sites have. I have Brave set to delete all history and cookies each time I close it, so if there is a story I want to read for example at the NYT or WP etc I paste the URL into Brave and they can’t track it. Brave is pretty streamlined too - loads pages quickly.

Can they finally fix some of the memory leaks, while they are at it? I use Brave as much as possible, but some financial sites I have to use Chrome.

But the pressing question is, how can the Left blame the President for this? Failing to recognize the infection early enough? Failing to quarantine users? Being discriminatory for opposing open borders and instead building a (fire) wall?

My kid uses a school supplied chrome book. Is that at risk? I dont think I have any upgrade abilities on it.

CCleaner Browser is a retool of a Avast browser and is compatible with a number of Chrome extensions...i have it and occasionally fire it up...seems to work good and also resource friendly.
