Google is using Gemini-powered AI tools to find and fix security bugs in Chrome much faster. Across the Chrome 149 and 150 updates the team fixed 1,072 security bugs. That is more than the total fixed in the previous 23 updates combined. The AI even found a serious sandbox escape that had stayed hidden in the code for over 13 years. Google built an automated system with different AI agents. Fixing agents write possible code changes. Critic agents check if those changes meet Chrome standards. Test-writing agents create tests to confirm the fixes work. These tools review every code change every 24 hours. In May alone they blocked more than 20 bugs from reaching users, including one serious issue. Bug reports by March 2026 already topped the full total for 2025. To shrink the patch gap Google is testing two security updates a week. It is also building dynamic patching so Chrome can replace background processes without a full restart. On Mac the browser now restarts quietly when no windows
