For those who have already updated, there is no one fix which works for everyone but the one with the highest success rate comes from Google engineer Tavis Ormandy and flushes a master key cache:
#Chrome browser for mac is acting glitchy update#
What should you do? The obvious answer is: Stay away from the May 2020 update and wait for a fix (whichever company provides it). This despite a raft of problems and some fundamentally flawed testing. Pausing Windows 10 Updates is a smart move until a fix arrives for Chrome's problems Gordon KellyĪs it stands, Microsoft is only pushing the May 2020 update to Windows 10 users who manually ‘Check for updates’ but it is removing many of the restrictions which previously prevented it from being installed.
Reuters described the latest failure as "highlighting the tech industry’s failure to protect browsers as they are used more for email, payroll and other sensitive functions." Chrome users be vigilant. Google had promised to scrutinize extensions more closely after a previous breach in February saw extensions steal data from 1.7 million users. Google declined to comment on why it failed to detect these malicious apps or the scale of damage. The extensions contained spyware and stole users' browsing history and data that provided credentials for access to internal business tools. According to Reuters, Awake found more than 70 malicious extensions which had evaded Google's screening process and were subsequently downloaded 32 million times by Chrome users. Moreover, Google saw this coming two months ago.Ġ6/18 Update: Google has confirmed new Chrome problems after researchers at Awake Security discovered what is understood to be "the most far-reaching malicious Chrome store campaign to date". Making the eye-catching render issues on macOS seem quaint, Google has confirmed that since Microsoft’s massive Windows 10 ‘May 2020’ update Chrome can no longer keep users signed-in, sync data, store cookies, remember passwords or third party extension data - sometimes deleting the extension completely.
