Google last week refreshed Chrome, upgrading it to version 75 by patching 42 security vulnerabilities and adding a basic “reader” view that rips ads and nonessential non-text content from pages.
The company paid out $9,000 – only a third the amount of the last cycle – in bug bounties to a handful of researchers who reported some of the vulnerabilities fixed in Chrome 75. Only two of the flaws were ranked “High,” the second-most-serious category in Google’s four-step rating system. None were rated “Critical,” the top-most threat level.
Because Chrome updates in the background, most users only need to relaunch the browser to finish the upgrade. To manually update, select “About Google Chrome” from the Help menu under the vertical ellipsis at the upper right; the resulting tab shows that the browser has been updated or displays the download process before presenting a “Relaunch” button.
