Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge have been updated to patch a security flaw an exploit for which is said to be in the wild.
Chromium is at the heart of Google Chrome as well as Microsoft Edge.
Google on Friday issued Chrome version 99.0.4844.84 for Windows, Mac and Linux to close the hole in its browser.
It's not just Chrome and Edge relying on Google's Chromium project: several other products also use its V8 JavaScript engine, so look out for any security updates for these, if necessary.
Google says Chrome has about 2.6 billion users, and Edge is separately said to have about 160 million.
Like Google, Microsoft noted an exploit was in the wild and remained tight lipped about further details.
