when I started my MGA9 this morning, there was an update of a few
packages.
One of them updated chromium web browser (tainted) from v. 120 to 123.
Does anyone know why this big step was necessary?

It's not unusual for packages to skip numbers, as some releases fail to
get through qa testing, or the packager who handles it for Mageia
doesn't get around to updating the Mageia version before the next
version is released.
In this case chromium was pushed as quickly as it could be, as the next release is already ready to start being built and qa testing.
I'm no longer involved in the testing, but do still skim through the
mailing lists to keep track of what's going on.

good to know, thanks!
I am using it for things like online banking, so, usually I try to
undestand why an update was necessary and what it does.

See https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33056#c2 for the details.
Page doesn't load. Seems to be offline.
Could this be the reason why v 123 is not yet available for i686?
It doesn't show up in tainted updates / updates-testing.

The latest two Chromiums will not build for i686, and it's something we apparently can't change, so 32-bit systems will no longer be supported.
Without access to Bugzilla, I don't remember the reason off the top of
my head. I'll post the link when I see Bugzilla is back.
