Google has introduced a new 'no restart' security patching feature for Google Chrome, currently exclusive to macOS users. This dynamic patching allows the browser to update in the background without requiring a user-initiated restart, by leveraging macOS's unique application state where apps can run in the background after windows are closed. While the intention is to reduce the 'patch gap' and ensure continuous security, the current implementation's practical benefit is limited as it primarily activates when all tabs are already closed.
