I agree AMD drivers are very unsafe and also no one should use Chrome or EDGE has they are seriously unsafe browsers.

These latest two flaws mean Google has patched 12 zero-days in Chrome since the beginning of 2021. Google patched two zero-day Chrome flaws on September 13, marking its 10th zero-day patch for the year.

Google just patched these two Chrome zero-day bugs that are under attack right now

More zero-day flaws pile up on Google Chrome in a year that saw flaws spike across all major software platforms.

Not much sooner after Google patched one publicly disclosed zero-day exploit in Chrome did another one pop up.

"Just here to drop a chrome 0day. Yes you read that right," announced Twitter user "frust" earlier today (April 14).

Yes, there's another Chrome exploit in the wild

@Gandalf_The_Grey looks like you have to leave all chrome/chromium based browsers and use Firefox only.
