Google fixes 18 Chrome glitches, enables tab syncing

Google released the newest version of its popular Chrome Web browser Tuesday, fixing 18 security glitches and adding a convenient new feature for its customers. 

Google classified seven of the vulnerabilities fixed in Chrome version 19.0.1084.46 as high-risk flaws, meaning they could be exploited to take control of infected systems. Chrome users can update to version 19 by clicking the wrench icon in the top right corner of the browser and selecting "About Google Chrome"; if your browser hasn't automatically updated itself, it will prompt you.

But security bugs aren't the only issues Google took on with this latest version of Chrome. The updated browser also enables signed-in users to sync all their open tabs across all their devices, from laptops to Android smartphones, simply by selecting the "other devices" menu on the "New Tab" page.
