Chrome najsigurniji mainstream browser

The 102-page report, prepared by researchers from security firm Accuvant, started with the premise that buffer overflow bugs and other security vulnerabilities were inevitable in any complex piece of software. Rather than relying on metrics such as the number of flaws fixed or the amount of time it took to release updates, the authors examined the practical effect protections included by default in each browser had on a wide class of exploits.

Their conclusion: Chrome is the most secured browser, followed closely by Microsoft IE. Mozilla's open-source Firefox came in third, largely because of its omission of a security sandbox that shields vital parts of the Windows operating system from functions that parse JavaScript, images and other web content.

"We found that Google Chrome did the most sandboxing," Chris Valasek, who is a senior research scientist for Accuvant,

The report was commissioned by Google, but the authors insist they had complete autonomy in deciding what metrics to use and what conclusions they made.
