Government warns Chrome users of critical security flaw
Cert-In flags urgent Chrome vulnerability that hackers can exploit easily
NEW DELHI: The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (Cert-In) has issued a high-severity warning for Google Chrome users. A critical flaw in the browser could let attackers take control of your computer just by visiting a website.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-2441, is a “Use-After-Free” issue in Chrome’s CSS component. This part of the browser handles how websites look, including fonts, colours, and layouts. A small memory error here could allow hackers to run malicious code on your device.
Windows and Mac users with Chrome versions earlier than 144.0.7559.109 or .110 are at risk. Linux users running versions before 144.0.7559.109 are also vulnerable. Google has released updated versions, Windows and Mac users should update to 145.0.7632.75 or .76, and Linux users to 144.0.7559.75.
The risk is serious because attackers do not need any attachments or extra downloads, simply visiting a malicious webpage is enough. Exploiting this flaw could lead to stolen data, compromised systems, or service disruption.
To stay safe, users should immediately check their Chrome version and update manually. Open Chrome, go to Settings, About Chrome, and ensure the latest update is applied. Relying solely on automatic updates may leave you exposed.
Given how easy this flaw is to exploit, Cert-In warns that everyone using Chrome should act without delay.

Rapido launches zero-commission food delivery app Ownly in Bengaluru
New platform promises transparent pricing with no restaurant commissions.
MUMBAI: Rapido just served up a fresh order because when the food delivery menu gets too pricey, someone’s got to deliver honesty on a plate. Rapido has rolled out Ownly, its standalone zero-commission food delivery app, across Bengaluru, stepping into India’s fiercely competitive online food delivery space with a model built on price transparency and fairness.
Unlike conventional platforms that charge restaurants commissions and often lead to inflated menu prices or hidden mark-ups, Ownly levies only a straightforward delivery fee on consumers based on actual logistics costs. Restaurants can list everyday low prices without relying on deep discounts, giving them breathing room while keeping bills honest for users.
The launch is backed by a satirical courtroom-themed digital video commercial that takes aim at industry pain points hidden fees, misleading discounts and price manipulation before positioning Ownly as the transparent alternative. The film is live on Ownly’s Youtube channel.
Rapido and Ownly, founder Aravind Sanka said, “Food ordering has become an integral part of everyday life across India, not just in metros but in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities as well. At Ownly, we see a strong opportunity to build a restaurant-first model that supports partners and caters to the evolving needs of customers. Transparency, honesty and fairness are key drivers of long-term growth for the sector.”
The Bengaluru rollout follows a pilot in Koramangala, HSR Layout and BTM Layout, where the team conducted consumer research and collaborated closely with restaurant partners to fine-tune the offering.
Ownly leverages Rapido’s existing hyperlocal logistics network to scale operations efficiently. By eliminating commissions and focusing on real-cost delivery fees, the platform aims to foster fairer economics for restaurants and more predictable pricing for consumers.
In a market where every rupee on the bill feels like a negotiation, Ownly isn’t just delivering food,it’s delivering a promise: no sneaky surcharges, no inflated prices, just straightforward bites at honest rates.
