Just in the last few days an update of Google Chrome has stopped working. Latest update of FireFox still works, but I've had to go back to a previous install of Google Chrome to get a working browser.
I've been running an installation marked as Fatdog 8.11 for ages, and regularly updating both Google-Chrome and FireFox with the built-in update utility. I've even been able to update my GIMP installation to 2.10, though I did this after I discovered a problem with Google Chrome, to check if there were other system problems. Everything else seems to work fine.
At the moment I'm on my Mac mini M1, running Mac OS 12.8, which is carefully isolated from suspect files on my Fatdog system, so I don't have the exact version numbers readily accessible.
I'm asking if anyone else had an update of Google Chrome fail within the last week. It updated, but then the resulting browser appeared non-functional. The update was in response to an actively exploited zero-day vulnerability, and I take these seriously. I've regularly been updating both browsers, and periodically updating the system, for months, without trouble. I don't trust a browser with such a serious vulnerability for the kind of activities I use Fatdog for. I often venture into suspect territory.
I'm hoping Google will put out a new update in a few days which will again work on my much-updated system. If this is not possible, does anyone else have advice on building a complete new installation that will also run the latest Google Chrome?
If you need exact version numbers I can get them.
