Thanks to a new algorithm, Google is able to push out Chrome updates in one tenth of the size they used to.
This means that Chrome updates can be pushed out to more simultaneously, protecting users against threats faster than before.
An example has been given on the recent update from 190.1->190.4 on the development channel.
