Google Just Gave Millions Of Users A Reason To Quit Chrome, Windows 10
Google is always improving Chrome and it recently issued a brilliant (if long overdue) upgrade. That said, there have also been some recent controversial changes, security problems and data concerns and now Google has detailed a serious new problem in Chrome which cannot be fixed. The result is users may find themselves forced to choose between Windows 10 and Chrome.
๐กEdit: James Forshaw has clarified that Firefox is impacted the same way because it uses the Chromium sandbox which Mozilla confirms. The result is Forshaw's research exposes a vulnerability for the sandbox of all major browsers to updates in Windows 10. I have followed this up with Firefox, Opera, Brave and Microsoft and will update when I have more information.
In a fascinating post titled โYou Won't Believe what this One Line Change Did to the Chrome Sandboxโ, Googleโs Project Zero researcher James Forshaw revealed that Chrome is entirely reliant on the code of Windows 10 to stay secure. Moreover, Forshaw explains a new Windows 10 update recently broke through Chromeโs security with just a single line of misplaced code. Given Windows 10โs appalling recent update record, thatโs not reassuring for either browser or platform.
