All users of the Google Chrome web browser need to update as soon as is possible. Multiple new security vulnerabilities confirmed.
Many people equate the regular discovery, and patching, of product vulnerabilities with being a sign of bad security; I am not one of them. I have always said that I'd much rather these security flaws are picked up, be that by in-house teams, bug bounty platforms or independent researchers, than go undiscovered. Vendors that patch regularly and transparently are demonstrating a strong security posture, not a weak one.
However, newly published research from Which? in the U.K. claims that in another area of web browser security, phishing protection, Google has much less to be proud of.Google Chrome is by far the world's most popular web browser, whatever metric you use in reaching that conclusion. With more than 3 billion users and a 65% desktop market share Chrome is the undisputed browser champion.
The report was based on testing of the most popular web browsers by attempting to visit a total of"800 newly-discovered sites very shortly after they are first discovered," according to Michael Passingham, a senior researcher at Which? This appears to be in order to test how well the browsers could cope with the latest phishing threats from sites that had yet to appear in databases of such things.
The results varied depending on the platform, so the results were split into Windows and Mac categories: Google Chrome p[laced last in each. The percentages are shown below, representing the proportion of those phishing sites that the browsers prevented the user from opening.
