Google Chrome is without a doubt the most widely used web browser in the world, even superior to Internet Explorer. And it is because of this that mainly due to its success, this browser is in the crosshairs of hackers and users who seek to use it with malicious intentions, so it is Google’s responsibility to anticipate them by detecting and fixing all security flaws before that other people detect them and decide, for example, to sell them on the Deep Web to the highest bidder.
Something you should know is that the vulnerabilities are related to the incorrect management of memory, especially in its addresses, leaving the doors open for attacks on the internal components of the browser.
