Chrome 74.0.3729.157

A new version of Chrome fixes a single security bug. Chrome 74.0.3729.157 was announced and made available on May 14, so it may have already found its way to your computer by way of Google’s rather insistent update mechanisms.

If you’re not sure which version of Chrome you’re running, click that little ‘three vertical dots’ menu button at the top right, and navigate to Help > About Google Chrome. Besides showing you the version of your current installation, this will usually prompt Chrome to check for available updates and offer to install a new version.

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.
