So Chrome updates itself silently, which can be a good thing, unless the patches require a restart of the browser. If this does happen you all of a sudden get a notice saying, “Changes have been made, you need to restart for them to take effect, ” or something along those lines. I get it with Firefox also. IE doesn’t do that, which is why it can’t be as secure.
Anyway, I digress. It seems that in the pas month Chrome has had to do some major patching quite often. People talk about how secure Chrome is, and while I haven’t tried it yet, I do have to wonder if it is being heavily targeted, or did the developers just make that many misses on bug testing?

So with all the browser choices out there, how many do you think have more problems than they know because of security through obscurity?
