Title: Google Chrome Security
Post by: Charyb-0 on May 02, 2022, 09:13:11 PM
Has anyone else been wondering if they should switch to a different browser?


The following appears to affect Chrome and chromium based browsers which would include Edge, Brave, etc.

All browsers and OS have vulnerabilities. That's why there are frequent updates.
All you can do is make sure you update when there are patches (updates) available.
