Image via WikipediaGoogle has shipped a new version of its Chrome browser to fix three high-risk security holes that expose web surfers to malicious hacker attacks.
In addition to the security patches the Google Chrome 5.0.375.125 update also includes workarounds for two critical vulnerabilities where the root cause lies in external components — a Windows kernel bug and a glibc vulnerability.

Google has indicated that this update plugs some security holes in the browser but on my early 2009, MacBook I notice a speed improvement. The update to Chrome 5 has only been installed for a short while but the change in speed is readily apparent.
