Google’s Chrome team has officially rolled out Chrome 135 to the Stable Channel for Windows, macOS, and Linux, bringing a wave of security enhancements, bug fixes, and under-the-hood improvements to billions of users. This update contains 14 security fixes, some of which were identified by external researchers.
