Google has disclosed a sharp rise in the number of security issues fixed in recent Chrome updates, saying three recent releases addressed a combined 1,442 flaws. That total is larger than the number of bugs fixed across the previous 23 Chrome milestones combined, highlighting a major jump in reported vulnerabilities.
According to the announcement, Chrome versions 149 and 150 alone accounted for 1,072 fixed flaws. That figure by itself surpassed the total from the prior 23 releases, making the latest update cycle stand out as an unusually large round of security remediation for the browser.
Google also linked the increase to faster, AI-driven bug discovery, which is helping surface more issues for review and patching. In practical terms, that means security teams are identifying and reporting more Chrome weaknesses at a quicker pace than before.
The disclosure underscores how quickly browser security work is evolving as detection methods improve. For Chrome users and organizations that rely on the browser, the latest figures reinforce the importance of staying current with new versions as Google continues to roll out fixes for newly uncovered flaws.
