Vulnerabilities in Google Chrome threaten the security of its users

Google Chrome browser is one of the best and most popular browsers in the Internet world, but experts have recently warned against using it, claiming that it collects user data.

Experts called on Google users to delete the Google Chrome browser, due to the search giant's tracking of users and collecting their data.

And a report revealed that “Chrome” does not protect users from tracking and data collection, even after the latest update, which indicates that it is in a big mess when it comes to security and privacy, according to what was published by the British newspaper “The Sun”.

72% do not feel safe

He also added that Google admitted that tracking the web on the Chrome browser led to a “collapse of trust among users,” noting that 72% of users feel that almost everything they do online is being tracked by advertisers, technology companies or others.

He added that 81% believe that the potential risks from collecting data outweigh the benefits.

One of Chrome's senior engineers said research has shown that as many as 52 companies can theoretically monitor up to 91% of the average user's web browsing history, and 600 companies can monitor at least 50% of the logs.

This technology, called Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC), was intended to bring together users with similar browsing patterns, that is, to bring together users with similar interests and behaviors so that they would not be targeted as individuals but as a group.

Browser update

However, earlier this year, Google canceled its trial of the program, acknowledging that FLoC technology avoids the privacy risks of third-party cookies, but creates new ones in the process, and exacerbates many privacy issues with behavioral ads, including Including discrimination and targeting.

The disclosure of this report comes after Google earlier this month urged Chrome users to update immediately after discovering seven high-risk vulnerabilities in its software.

The vulnerabilities are revealed in a new blog post. It rolled out a fix for it all and urged users to update sooner rather than later.
