Google published the release of Web-browser Chrome 128. At the same time is available the stable release of the free project Chromium acting as the basis of Chrome. Chrome browser differs from Chromium by the presence of a system sending a notification in case of collapse, modules for playing DRM-protected video content, an automatic update installation system, constant inclusion of Sandbox insulation, supplying the key to Google API, and transmission when searching for RLZ parameters.
