Issue 130: What does that mean?
As always, Google is communicating through Google blog Not what these vulnerabilities specifically entail. They only have in common that one of them is classified as high risk, and the rest as medium or low risk.
The new feature in Chrome 130 is the password manager, which allows you to use passwords on all devices and smartphones. Integrated security control is equipped with new functions. The browser now also features real-time AI protection against phishing and malware. To do this, you need to select the “Advanced Safe Browsing” option in Settings.
Manufacturers of other Chromium-based browsers are now being urged to implement the update as soon as possible. These are Brave, Microsoft Edge, Opera One, and Vivaldi. At the time of writing, no browser has received this update. They remain at last week’s security level.
