A recent post published in Google Blog says that the details of its security flaws will only be disclosed when a majority of Chrome users have updated to the latest version. And if a bug is found in the 3rd party library the disclosure of the flaw will be further delayed says the post.
Now, to those who desire to see whether they are using the latest version, here’s some help. Just click on the three lines visible at the top of the browser extreme to the right. Hit on those three lines> select help> and then ‘About’ and it will assist you in spotting the version of the Chrome browser you are using.
