This is actually pretty awesome: Google is so sure of Chrome's stability that they're offering
twenty thousand dollars and a Google notebook to anyone who can successfully hack Google Chrome.
And there's the annual
Pwn2Own competition sponsored by CanSecWest. It's basically a proving ground for browsers and other web software, a contest to see how well they can stand up to the best hackers in the world. The results? In 2009, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Firefox
failed on the first day (Safari twice). In 2010, each of them and iOS 3
all fell, and again on the very first day, leaving Chrome the
last browser standing. And it happened yet again in 2011: IE and Safari were hacked in the first day, the BlackBerry browser in the second. This time both
Mozilla Firefox and Chrome survived -- the third time in a row for Chrome, or every single year they've participated.
And nobody's managed to claim that $20,000 yet.
