Chrome 96: Stability improvements
Since the update is quite new, Google has not yet provided any official release notes. When version 96 went into beta on November 15, 2021, Google announced that it was primarily about improving stability and performance. This group is listed in Chrome login. In addition to a full set of bug fixes and technical improvements under the hood, the update also contains some security patches once again. Google usually only describes this later, so that Chrome users can secure their browser in time with an update.
