Critical Google Chrome Security Update Confirmed—Don’t Risk Waiting When You Can Act Now

Whereas the April 22 update concerned a mere three vulnerabilities, two of which climbed to high on the severity scale, the latest security alert concerns a whopping 30 security flaws, the vast majority high-rated, with four reaching critical Common Vulnerability Scoring System severity status.
