Chromium does weekly stable releases, and typically there are at least a few CVE fixes in a new release. Sometimes there's just one or two, but usually there's around 10-20.
The latest #chromium stable release (147.0.7727.55) has *60* CVEs. I don't know if that's LLMs being better at finding security holes or what, but that's the most I've ever seen by far.

In what was supposed to be a *security release* in their stable series, the #chromium upstream developers added #Gemini (that's Google's AI, if you're unfamiliar) PDF summary stuff to the tab UI.

Holy shit, why am I maintaining #chromium packages instead of hunting for security holes in it?!

"This update includes 29 security fixes. Please see the Chrome Security Page for more information." Then there's a list of CVEs, with things like "Critical CVE-2026-3913: Heap buffer overflow in WebML. Reported by Tobias Wienand on 2026-02-10" The first CVE paid out $33k. The next two paid $43k each, and the one after that $36k. The next one is _only_ $11k. That's $166k in payouts to security researchers, and it's only 5 out of the listed 29 security fixes!
