Chromium’s CVE entries showing up in Microsoft’s Security Update Guide can look confusing at first glance — the short answer is that Microsoft lists Chromium CVEs to tell Edge customers when Microsoft’s downstream builds have ingested the upstream Chromium fix, and the surest way to confirm...

Chromium-assigned CVE CVE-2025-11216 — described as an “Inappropriate implementation in Storage” — appears in Microsoft’s Security Update Guide not because Microsoft authored the bug, but because Microsoft Edge (Chromium‑based) ships the Chromium engine and must announce when Edge builds ingest...

Chromium’s V8 engine received a recent security entry — CVE‑2025‑11215 — described as an off‑by‑one error in V8, and it appears in Microsoft’s Security Update Guide because Microsoft Edge (Chromium‑based) consumes Chromium’s open‑source code; the Security Update Guide records upstream Chromium...

Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 Insider preview builds quietly add a one‑click internet speed‑test shortcut to the taskbar network flyout — but the shortcut simply opens Bing’s web‑based speed test rather than running a native, offline measurement — and the same builds also include a subtle but...

Microsoft is quietly testing a one‑click internet speed test in Windows 11 that puts a “Perform speed test” shortcut directly in the taskbar’s network menu and Wi‑Fi quick settings — but the control simply launches Bing’s web speed‑test widget in your default browser rather than running a...
