GOOGLE Chrome users have been urged not to ignore a new weekly alert that’ll soon be popping up in their browser.
The tech giant has decided it will start issuing out new security updates every week, instead of its usual fortnightly roll out.
Google has shifted to a faster update cycle in a bid to stave off hawk-eyed hackers who might be fast enough to take advantage of a cyber flaw after it has been raised to Google – but before the company can fix it.
Security flaws with Google Chrome are typically reported by individuals or cybersecurity firms to Chromium – the open-sourced project Chrome is built on.
The issue is then raised with Google’s in-house teams to review and fix.
