Everything related to security regarding the web browsers that we use in our day to day, is becoming increasingly important. Hence, its developers, as in Google Chrome, pay special attention to keeping their products properly updated.
In fact, if we refer to the search giant, this is something that becomes especially important due to the enormous market penetration of its proposal. Most users around the globe use Chrome, so they could be exposed to the latest vulnerabilities discovered. However, as far as possible Google puts all the means so that this does not happen under any circumstances. All this thanks to the patches and periodic updates that it sends us.
We tell you all this because the search giant has just released a new security update for its web browser. It fixes a total of four different security issues in the industry’s leading browser. We must bear in mind that both the desktop and Android versions are affected by the problem. This is something that directly affects other browsers that also use Chromium as their internal engine.
This is a security update that has been released for version 114 of the Google program and is now available to most users. If this is not the case, it is most likely that we will receive the next hours or days. If you use Chrome from your desktop PC, all you have to do is access its main menu and go to the Help / Information option in Google Chrome. We can also type the following in the address bar of the program:
chrome://settings/help
Update Chrome and protect yourself from these 4 vulnerabilities
With this, what we achieve is that the program is updated automatically and thus we keep our equipment protected from these four new vulnerabilities. To say that for the moment Google has only mentioned three of the four security problems that it patches with this update. We must know that the company does not normally disclose information about security problems that it has discovered internally.
To give us an idea of ​​the importance of this update that we are discussing, the three security problems mentioned have a high severity rating. Hence, the most sensible thing is that we update the browser as soon as possible, it will only take a few seconds. This is something that also affects other similar programs based on the same rendering engine such as Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera and more. It is hoped that these will also receive their corresponding security updates shortly.
To say that this is the third time that Google has patched Chrome 114 since it was released at the end of last May. With all this, what is tried is to keep the program properly patched and safe for the good of its hundreds of millions of customers. In addition, the new version of Chrome will not reach our hands until the middle of next July.
