All users of the Google Chrome browser client should urgently update to the latest version as the ninth zero-day security threat is confirmed across Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android platforms.
Although Google Chrome has an automated update process, which means that once the security patch reaches your device it gets installed automatically, it only becomes effective once the browser itself restarts. This means that there are two problems that can prevent the immediate securing of your browser: firstly, waiting for the update to reach you and, secondly, rebooting Chrome itself.
You can 'force' a Google Chrome security update by getting the browser to check if it is up to date. This circumvents any delay in waiting for it to come to you. Just head for Settings|About Chrome, and Chrome will check if you have the latest version and if not, then a download and installation will start automatically. Remember, though, that Chrome version 108.0.5359.94 for Windows, and version 108.0.5359.94 for Mac and Linux, will only become active after the browser is rebooted.
