Google released Chrome 156 to the stable channel with fixes for 353 security bugs affecting Windows, macOS, and Linux users. The update includes six critical-severity flaws, mostly memory-safety issues such as memory corruption and use-after-free bugs, plus 61 high-severity issues; patched versions are 156.0.8078.47/.48 for Windows and macOS and 156.0.8078.47 for Linux, and Google said it has no evidence of active exploitation.
Why it matters: Chrome is widely used, and browser bugs can be dangerous because visiting a malicious site may be enough to trigger them. Users and organizations should update Chrome promptly across managed and personal devices, even though Google has not reported attacks in the wild.
