Pwn2Own 2010: Google Chrome is the last man standing

So Google Chrome is pretty useful after all. Once they get ABP for Chrome, I'm switching browsers. :D

This article seemed to spin it in a pro-Chrome way. I had heard that no one had even attempted to hack chrome at Pwn2Own, which makes the fact that it wasn't hacked rather moot. True, they patched a few security vulnerabilities in the weeks leading up to the competition which may have deterred some planned hacks but I'm not that confident that it's impossible to do.

As Chrome's share increases I think we'll see more hacks for it. I'd be hard pushed to move from Firefox, so many great addons that I couldn't possibly do without !!

A suggestion: search for "SRWare Iron".

It also has a built-in ad blocker.

Is it faster than Opera 10.50? :naughty:

Opera has too many useless features. I found Chrome; Lightweight, Fast and Secure. The Add-ons for Chrome are still in it's infant stages but I'm sure we'll see a Spam-fest within the next year.

Sorry If I seem to be bashing your posts anon, but I really like what Google's doing with Chrome.

Don't use them :ermm: Although that can't be denied - it'd be nice if there was some kind of lite version without the Unite stuff, for example, which I have no use for. That may make the browser start up faster or use less RAM.

No problem, I forgot about that addon :happy:

However, the main point of my post was suggesting Iron (a fork) over Chrome because of the removed tracking features.
