Hot Take:

Google Chrome, the digital equivalent of Swiss cheese, has done it again. They've patched up seven more holes, including a zero-day bug that was having a field day in the wild. This bug, known for partying hard in the Skia graphics library, was discovered by Google's own TAG team. And this isn't its first rodeo either, with a similar bug having been squashed back in April this year. With this latest patch, Google has now zapped six zero-days since the start of the year. So, Chrome users, time to hit that update button, because it's safer to surf the web than to surf on vulnerabilities.
