Google has released Chrome 157, the latest stable version of its web browser. On Android, the browser's built-in machine learning model now powers the Language Detector API, allowing text input to be identified on-device. On the CSS side, the release adds a "corner" property for setting corner shapes in one declaration, an extension to "text-overflow" that lets developers display arbitrary strings in truncated areas, and "text-decoration-inset" for adjusting underline length. Security is also strengthened for the Sanitizer API and Background Fetch API, and the release includes fixes for 213 vulnerabilities. The next version, Chrome 158, is scheduled for release on November 17.

Google on November 3 released "Chrome 157," the stable desktop version of its Chrome browser, along with an Android version. The update includes 213 security fixes, 7 of them rated "Critical" severity. The breakdown is 77 High, 75 Medium, and 54 Low. Among the 7 Critical flaws, a use-after-free in Prerender was reported by Anthropic's Xinyang Ge with the assistance of Claude; reports explicitly credited as Claude-assisted total 14 overall, and 7 more were filed under OpenAI's Codex Security. There is no indication of exploitation in the wild, and Google is urging users to update promptly.

Chrome 157 stable is coming soon to Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android with 200+ security patches. Check build numbers and keep your browser protected.
