Chrome users need to update their browsers immediately as Google addresses a critical vulnerability that hackers are actively exploiting. Additional security measures are recommended.

Comet, currently available by invite to Perplexity’s $200‑a‑month Max subscribers, is built on Chromium and supports Windows and Mac platforms.

Less than 1% of Chrome Android page loads use HTTP, and Google plans to make HTTPS-first mode default for all users. Variants exist that warn only on public sites but allow local network exceptions (e.g., internal IPs).

If Chrome feels more like a chore than a choice, these Android browsers offer privacy, speed, and features people actually care about.

Microsoft’s support for Windows 10 will expire on October 14th, 2025, after which users can get an extra year of security updates under certain conditions, such as having a Microsoft account or paying a $30 fee.
