Chrome 74.0.3729.108

Estimated reading time: 1 minute.

According to the release announcement, Chrome 74.0.3729.108 fixes thirty-nine security vulnerabilities. The full change log lists almost fourteen thousand changes in all. Good luck absorbing all that information.

Chrome generally keeps itself up to date whether you want it to or not, which is arguably a good thing, given that a lot of malware makes its way onto computers via unpatched security holes in web browsers. You can check which version you’re currently running, and — if an update is available — trigger the update process by navigating Chrome’s ‘three dot’ menu to Help > About Google Chrome.

About jrivett

Jeff Rivett has worked with and written about computers since the early 1980s. His first computer was an Apple II+, built by his father and heavily customized. Jeff's writing appeared in Computist Magazine in the 1980s, and he created and sold a game utility (Ultimaker 2, reviewed in the December 1983 Washington Apple Pi Journal) to international markets during the same period. Proceeds from writing, software sales, and contract programming gigs paid his way through university, earning him a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) degree at UWO. Jeff went on to work as a programmer, sysadmin, and manager in various industries. There's more on the About page, and on the Jeff Rivett Consulting site.
