Yes, these constant updates can be a hassle, but sometimes they really are necessary or can at least give you helpful new features. So what&#8217;s new in the latest editions of these two?<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s new in Chrome<\/h2>\n<p>Released on Tuesday for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/the-ultimate-windows-11-upgrade-guide-everything-you-need-to-know\/\">Windows<\/a>, MacOS, and Linux, <a href=\"https:\/\/chromereleases.googleblog.com\/2024\/10\/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_29.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">Chrome version 130.0.6723.91\/.92<\/a> includes fixes for two security vulnerabilities. One is considered Critical, while the other is rated High. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/networking\/chrome-adds-a-quick-fix-tool-to-speed-up-your-browser-with-a-single-click\/\">Chrome adds a quick-fix tool to speed up your browser with a single click<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The critical bug dubbed <a href=\"https:\/\/nvd.nist.gov\/vuln\/detail\/CVE-2024-10487\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">CVE-2024-10487<\/a> is described as an &#8220;Out of bounds write in Dawn,&#8221; meaning a remote attacker could have performed out-of-bounds memory access via a crafted HTML page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What does all that mean? Dawn is an open-source implementation that Chrome adopts for WebGPU, an API that lets webpages use your PC&#8217;s graphics processing unit. With this unpatched vulnerability, an attacker could exploit a webpage to run their malicious code.<\/p>\n<p><!----><\/p>\n<p>The ironic part here is that the bug was discovered by researchers at Apple&#8217;s Security Engineering and Architecture, who brought it to Google&#8217;s attention. With all the rivalry between Apple and Google, it&#8217;s nice to know that they do watch each other&#8217;s backs to our mutual benefit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/googles-new-ai-course-will-teach-you-to-write-more-effective-prompts-in-5-steps\/\">Google&#8217;s new AI course will teach you to write more effective prompts<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bug rated High, designated <a href=\"https:\/\/nvd.nist.gov\/vuln\/detail\/CVE-2024-10488\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">CVE-2024-10488<\/a>, is described as a &#8220;Use after free in WebRTC,&#8221; which allows a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. WebRTC is an open-source project that lets browsers and mobile apps share audio, video, and data via APIs without needing third-party plugins. With this bug, a hacker could have exploited free memory to launch an attack.<\/p>\n<h2>How to update Chrome<\/h2>\n<p>To update Chrome on your desktop, click the three-dot icon in the upper right, move to Help, and select About Google Chrome. The browser will download and install the latest update, and then prompt you to restart it.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s new in Firefox<\/h2>\n<p>Now for Firefox. Also released on Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/132.0\/releasenotes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">Firefox version 132<\/a> patches <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/security\/advisories\/mfsa2024-55\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">11 security holes<\/a>. Two of them are rated High, six are Moderate, and three are Low.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/work-life\/is-onedrive-moving-all-your-files-how-to-take-back-control-of-your-windows-storage-3-ways\/\">3 ways to take back control of your Windows storage<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One bug rated High is <a href=\"https:\/\/nvd.nist.gov\/vuln\/detail\/CVE-2024-10459\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">CVE-2024-10459<\/a>, which would have allowed an attacker to crash a program through which they could then run malicious code. The other vulnerability considered High and designated as <a href=\"https:\/\/nvd.nist.gov\/vuln\/detail\/CVE-2024-10458\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">CVE-2024-10458<\/a> could have enabled an attacker to transfer sensitive permissions from a trusted site to an untrusted one.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond security fixes, there&#8217;s more to the latest Firefox. On the eve of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/132.0\/whatsnew\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">20th anniversary of its browser<\/a>, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/firefox-1-0-fans-clog-mozilla-site\/\">launched on November 9, 2004<\/a>, Mozilla has added a few extras to the new edition.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/playready\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"c-regularLink\">Microsoft&#8217;s PlayReady encrypted media playback<\/a> now rolling out across the web, Firefox is launching 1080p playback as a baseline and 4K Ultra HD support for key streaming services. According to Mozilla, the benefit is that there&#8217;s less battery drain and better performance when streaming movies and TV shows from different services.<\/p>\n<h2>How to update Firefox<\/h2>\n<p>Click the three-line icon, select Help, and then click About Firefox. The latest version will be installed, after which you&#8217;ll be prompted to restart the browser.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/why-you-dont-need-to-pay-for-antivirus-software-anymore\/\">Why you don&#8217;t need to pay for antivirus software anymore<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Third-party cookies are still a persistent and annoying problem on the web. Firefox now automatically blocks such cookies when Enhanced Tracking Protection&#8217;s Strict mode is enabled. Offering three different levels, Enhanced Tracking Protection aims to protect you against social media trackers, cross-site cookies, crypto miners, fingerprinters, and other threats.<\/p>\n<p>To check or change your level, click the three-line icon at the upper right, select Settings, and then go to Privacy &amp; Security. You can choose among Standard, Strict, and Custom levels.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a
