affected until it\u2019s already too late, experts say.<\/p>\n<p>Users of Chrome should brace themselves for disruption or find another browser to use until the issue is resolved, a Forbes report said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on Google\u2019s current release rate, Chrome Canary users could be facing this decision as soon as next month while the billions of users running the browser\u2019s stable version are looking at a 3-6 month countdown,\u201d\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"

months.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Chrome 95 was only just released by the company in October.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GOOGLE_UNDER_FIRE\"><\/span>GOOGLE UNDER FIRE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google is reportedly experimenting with a hack to stem the effects of the glitch.<\/p>\n<p>That hack reportedly involves altering how its version numbers are displayed to ensure \u201c99\u201d is displayed in the first two digits in the version 100 update.<\/p>\n<p>It remains unclear whether the hack will be successful or how long it would take to implement if it was.<\/p>\n<p>Chrome has been under sustained scrutiny for the last 12 months, amid data leaks, privacy concerns, and other issues.<\/p>\n<p>Just this week, billions of Chrome users were urged to update certain settings to stop Google from tracking their every move.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story originally appeared on <\/em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"
