Update for Chromium-based browser Vivaldi to 3.7.2218.58
After the security update for Chrome 90 other manufacturers of Chromium-based browsers have now followed.
David FischerWith the first security update for Chrome 90 Google fixed a zero day gap vulnerability a few days ago. Manufacturers of Chromium-based browsers have now followed up with their own updates. Google released the security update for Chrome 90 on April 20. The update to version 90.0.4430.85 fixed seven vulnerabilities, including a zero day vulnerability (CVE-2021-21224).
Vivaldi now released an update to version 3.7.2218.58 one day after the release of the latest Chrome version. Vivaldi 3.7 is still based on Chromium 89, but the developers ported the patch for the zero day vulnerability in Chrome 90 (CVE-2021-21224) back to the old Chromium version. They did not fix the other security vulnerabilities which Chrome 90.0.4430.85 fixed.
On April 22 Brave and Microsoft also followed with according updates. Brave 1.23.73 and Edge 90.0.818.46 fix all known vulnerabilities and they are based on the current Chromium version 90.0.4430.85.
