“Google has issued a new stable release of the Chrome Web
browser and is rolling it out to users. The new version introduces

security features, improved support for synchronization, and a new
user interface for managing the browser’s settings.

“Plug-ins have historically been a major attack vector for

addressing the issue, Adobe has capitalized on the poor security of
its own software by bundling unwanted McAfee crapware in Flash and
Acrobat updates”
