Security News > 2022 > July > Google patches “in-the-wild” Chrome zero-day – update now!
Google's latest update to the Chrome browser fixes a varying number of bugs, depending on whether you're on Android, Windows or Mac, and depending on whether you're running the "Stable channel" or the "Extended stable channel".
The Stable channel is the very latest version, including all new browser features, currently numbered Chrome 103.
The Extended Stable channel identifies itself as Chrome 102, and doesn't have the latest features but does have the latest security fixes.
This is listed as applying to the "Stable channel" on Windows and Mac, although the Chrome OS shell is, as the name suggests, part of Chrome OS, which is neither Windows nor Mac based.
Chrome will probably update itself, but we always recommend checking anyway.
On Linux, we're not sure what version number to look out for, but you might as well do the Help > About > Update security dance anyway, to ensure you've got the latest version available right now.
