Google has begun rolling out an update to the Chrome Extended Stable channel for desktop users on Windows and macOS.
The new version, 144.0.7559.177, will be gradually deployed over the coming days and weeks.
This release includes one high-severity security fix addressing CVE-2026-2441, a use-after-free vulnerability in CSS. Google has confirmed that this issue is actively being exploited in the wild, making the update particularly important for users who rely on the Extended Stable channel.
Details about the vulnerability may remain limited until most users have received the fix, a standard practice intended to reduce further risk. More technical details can be found on the Chrome Security page, along with a full changelog for this build.
Users are encouraged to update as soon as the release becomes available on their systems. To ensure your on at least the patched versio, in Chrome click/press the 3-dot menu >> Help >> About Chrome.
