[citation][nom]Cryogenic[/nom]No one attempted to hack Google Chrome (according to arstechnica.com). Chrome was patched for a series of critical vulnerabilities a few days before Pwn2Own. I personally don't put my entire believe in coincidences, and this one is somewhat funny ...[/citation]

Firefox also released a critical update in the past week, they still should have done Chrome. If they use known exploits, then whats the fun?

I switched to Chrome on my Ubuntu laptop. The one I am using now. I would have liked to see Chrome and Linux thrown into the competition.

Not true for much longer grasshopper. The Socialistic Obummer so called health care reform will make sure of that while it helps destroy the country at the same time.

One of the advantages of browser with fewer users like Opera is hackers usually ignore them. Although, may be they have so vulnerabilities.
