Η Google A new Chrome update has just been released, fixing four different security vulnerabilities in the Browser on all supported desktop platforms.
With this update, the Google Chrome reached version 80.0.3987.132 at Windows, Linux and Mac and because the installation is done gradually, you can update manually by downloading the standalone installer immediately from here.
Google is releasing the new version gradually and it may take a few days or weeks for everyone to get the update.
As mentioned above, this Chrome update includes four different security fixes, but the company has not mentioned them yet for obvious reasons. We will have more details when the majority of users have installed the update and there will be no immediate risk.

"OR access on bug details and links may remain limited until the majority of users are updated with the fix. We will also maintain restrictions if the bug exists in a third-party library that other projects depend on, but has not yet been fixed," Google said.
What we do know, however, is that this update addresses a high-security vulnerability reported in CVE-2020-6420 and was discovered by researcher Taras Uzdenov. Google says the vulnerability was reported Feb. 11, and the researcher received $ 1.000 to reveal it to the security team.
"We would also like to thank all the security researchers who worked with us during this development cycle and helped prevent security bugs from reaching the fixed channel," said Google.
It goes without saying that everyone who uses the Google browser is advised to update their application as soon as possible.
