Google released yesterday beta version of its own web browser, Google Chrome. The more popular Chrome becomes the more it will attract malware authors. Keeping that in mind Google has implemented some security features like sandboxing of each tab, built-in web reputation service and special privacy mode into Chrome.
Despite of that, there's already been found some vulnerabilities of Chrome. The first one was discovered just some hours after the browser release by researcher Aviv Raff. Rishi Narang for one discovered URL Handler Crash vulnerability in Chrome (version 0.2.149.27). Person using nickname "nerex" has released an example script that shows how Chrome can be made to allow files (e.g., executables) to be automatically downloaded to the user's computer without any user prompt.

I hesitate to use even upgraded versions of Chrome, since my last experience using it (first version) left my computer compromised; have they fixed the security issues beyond all doubt?
