Critical Chrome security update (128.0.6613.85)

Chrome 128.0.6613.85 patches the ninth and tenth critical, zero-day security flaws being actively exploited in Google’s web browser ( CVE-2024-7965 and CVE-2024-7971). Microsoft Edge and other Chromium-based browsers (e.g. Brave, Opera, Arc, and Chromium itself) will also need the critical patches.
Google tags a tenth Chrome zero-day as exploited this year

Today, Google revealed that it patched the tenth zero-day exploited in the wild in 2024 by attackers or security researchers during hacking contests. … This was announced in an update to a blog post where the company revealed last week that it had fixed another high-severity zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2024-7971 )… “Updated on 26 August 2024 to reflect the in the wild exploitation of CVE-2024-7965 which was reported after this release,” the company said in today’s update. “Google is aware that exploits for CVE-2024-7971 and CVE-2024-7965 exist in the wild.”
Google will only support macOS 11 and later with the next release and currently requires macOS 10.15, while Firefox ESR 115 supports Macs running macOS 10.12 and later, providing up-to-date security patches even for these older systems.

Google has also changed its extension system, disabling the uBlock Origin ad-blocker plug-in among others.
Chrome’s Manifest V3 and uBlock Origin
Chromium, the open-source web browser project on which Google Chrome and other browsers are built – and available for Linux, macOS, iOS, and Windows – doesn’t include Google’s proprietary alterations, such as Google’s tracking mechanisms.

ZDR's take: Big changes for Google's Chrome recently as it clamps down on extensions that allow blocking of advertisements, still far and away Google/Alphabet's largest source of revenue.
