Cisco Subnet blogger Jamey Heary casts his security expert’s eye on Google’s Chrome browser and found the security features wanting. With close to a dozen vulnerabilities discovered just days after Chrome’s launch, Heary has four larger security observations: How quickly and effectively will Google eradicate any security vulnerabilities found?; Will Google build an effective trust relationship with key security researchers or blow them off like some companies have done to their own detriment?; Given that Chrome is brand new code it is logical to hypothesize that it will be full of bugs and security holes for some time to come; Chrome browser lacks innovative or original features in the browser security category. Given the huge focus other browsers have put on security features lately, this is a colossal misstep by Google.
