By Click&Clean - Friday, February 13, 2026. After the first major release of Chrome 144 in 2026, Google rolled out the next version of its widely used web browser to the public on February 10, 2026, making it available across Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Like every Chrome update, Chrome 145 includes important security fixes that address discovered vulnerabilities. One critical vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-1504, affects Google Chrome's Background Fetch API, a feature that allows web applications to transfer large files in the background, even after the user closes the page. In other words, if a user visited a specially crafted HTML page, an attacker might be able to expose sensitive data from other sites the user has visited.
Additionally, overall stability and performance have been improved across all platforms, with further fixes and enhancements applied to both the user interface and the core engine.
These security fixes and enhancements were rolled out in the latest Chrome update, version 145. Keeping your browser updated remains the most effective way to stay protected. Our secure "Browser Update Scanner" service instantly checks for and installs the latest Chrome updates, keeping you safe, private, and secure.
