Brave released desktop version 1.94.121 with a fix for CVE-2026-85046, a Chromium V8 JavaScript-engine vulnerability the company said had been exploited in the wild. The browser maker urged users to install the update and relaunch. The article says the desktop release is rolling out, while an Android release is expected soon. It says iOS and iPadOS browsers use WebKit rather than Chromium.
