The security issue affects Chromium, the source that Chrome and other browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, Brave or Opera use. As such, it is not Chrome-specific, but an issue that affects all these browsers.<\/p>\n\n\n

  2. Load chrome:\/\/settings\/help in the browser’s address bar, or, select Menu > Help > About Google Chrome if you prefer this way.<\/li>
  3. Chrome displays the installed version and runs a check for updates. Any new update is downloaded and installed at this point.<\/li>
  4. A restart is required to complete the process.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
