From PC World: Google has released Chrome 138, the latest edition of the browser that fixes several vulnerabilities, now in versions 138.0.7204.49/50 for Windows and macOS and 138.0.7204.49 for Linux. According to Google, none of the vulnerabilities have been exploited in the wild yet.
On the “What’s New” page in Chrome, Google advertises the ability to use tab groups on the go. With Chrome, you can now synchronize not only passwords but also tab groups between your desktop and mobile devices. Google is also raising awareness of Chrome’s ability to search, select, and copy text in scanned PDF documents, but Google doesn’t mention that this first requires text recognition (OCR) and whether this takes place locally or in the cloud.
Meanwhile, Google is continuing to expand AI integration, but a Gemini subscription is required to use it. Several interfaces (APIs) enable access to AI functions: the Summarizer API summarizes longer texts, the Language Detector API determines which language the text is written in, and the Translator API translates the text into the target language. Chrome extensions can access AI models via the Prompt API.
