Google has kept the latest update for its Chrome browser pretty quiet, but it adds a number of features that will please both security junkies and casual users. Chrome 27 fixes 14 major security vulnerabilities, speeds up website load times and adds a voice search similar to what Android users have come to expect.

While they may not be the most glamorous part of the Chrome update, the 14 security fixes are arguably the most important. Google ranked 10 of these vulnerabilities as high-risk, including potential misuse of the program's memory cache after using widgets, the developer-friendly Pepper plugin or Chrome's media loader.

Google rewarded outside security experts who discovered these issues with cash incentives between $1,000 and $2,000. The most generous prize, however, went to an investigator who discovered a vulnerability in Chrome's Web audio.

Because many users have not yet updated to Chrome 27, Google has not yet revealed the details (for fear of giving exploiters ideas), but Finnish security researcher Atte Kettunenearned an oddly specific $3,133.70 ("31337" is Internet junkie speak for "elite") for his efforts.
