The nasty memory leak that has plagued Lollipop since the platform’s debut last fall is still lingering in the latest Android 5.1 release, according to some reports, but Google says it already has a fix for it.

While it may seem unlikely, it is possible for someone to intercept and steal your data when you browse the web on an open Wi-Fi network. But Google VPN, a feature’s that baked (but not yet enabled) into Android 5.1 is designed to prevent that from happening.
