May 26 Update below. This post was originally published on May 25 Many people equate the regular discovery, and patching, of product vulnerabilities with being a sign of bad security; I am not one of them. I have always said that I’d much rather these security flaws are picked up, be that by in-house teams, bug bounty platforms or independent researchers, than go undiscovered. Vendors that patch regularly and transparently are demonstrating a strong security posture, not a weak one. Sure,… Source link

The good news for the estimated 3.2 billion users of Google’s Chrome web browser is that, as far as we know, there are no new zero-day attacks ongoing against them.

Google has been working to better integrate its visual search tools from Google Lens into its browser to enable new types of searches that can identify what you see, not just search for things you type. Today, Google is rolling out a new way to use Google Lens on the desktop. Instead of opening a new tab to perform a search, you’ll be able to use Lens on the same page in your Chrome browser to do things like translating an image’s text, identifying an object in an image, or getting… Source link

Google Lens, the search giant’s powerful image recognition software, is becoming slightly less cumbersome to use within the Chrome browser on desktop. Currently, if you want to use Lens on an image on a website, the browser opens a page of results in a new tab. But in the future, the browser will instead show results in a panel to the right of a webpage. Only when you want to find an image’s source will Chrome open a new browser tab. The search giant’s image recognition software has… Source link

May 11 Update: This post was originally published on May 10 I spoke too soon when I reported yesterday that Google had confirmed a relatively rare update just for Android users of the Chrome browser. Windows, Linux, and Mac users can no longer breathe easy and instead should now also be checking that their Chrome browsers are updated as soon as possible. Why the change? Because Google has now confirmed that billions of users of the most popular web browser on the planet are affected by the… Source link

In a Chrome update confirmation published 9 May, Google has revealed no less than 13 security fixes. Of these, eight have been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) severity ratings of high, with one getting a medium scoring. The remainder, four in all, are wrapped up with a ‘various fixes’ from ongoing… Source link

QUESTION: I love Google Chrome, but it seems like it’s bogging down a lot lately. Any suggestions? ANSWER: No matter which browser you’re using, over time things can bog down especially if you like to have lots of websites open at the same time. Tabbed browsing There was a time when you could only have one active session running in a browser and the use of the ‘Back’ button was how you switched to something that you previously opened. That all changed with the adoption of tabbed browsing… Source link
