What You Must Do Now

To protect yourself against these looming threats, it’s absolutely crucial to take immediate action. We highly recommend you to update your Google Chrome browser as soon as possible.

Usually, your browser updates quietly in the background when you restart the app. If you’re someone who prefers to keep the browser running continuously, you should pause and relaunch the application to initiate the update. Rest assured, any tabs you had open will swiftly reappear – with the exception of Incognito tabs.

Your online safety is our priority. Don’t delay, update your Google Chrome now to ensure a secure browsing experience.
