Description of the issue: chrome vulnerability

I cannot read Chromium’s changelog. Apparently I got blocked from clicking that link. (Funny, last time I looked at a Chromium changelog was 3 months ago, I swear Brave is triggering these lately, and might have evidence soon via TWO IP’s via my ONT since I do pay for one static IP and one dynamic, and it turns out, if I visit some pages in Brave, it triggers these, but if viewed in Chromium on the other IP from a machine mirrored/cloned from the other, does NOT get blocked, but the moment Brave visits it a few times…blocked.)

Sigh

Luckily I found a mirror, this CVE very much was solved already. Another user filing a complaint without due diligence in their research before hitting Post.
