Google Chrome named the most secure of the top three browsers by security firm Accuvant. The study was commissioned by Google, but its results and the tools and data behind it are available online for inspection. Chrome’s plug-in security and sandboxing architectures are “implemented in a more thorough and comprehensive manner,” the company says. Internet Explorer came in second due to deficiencies in its implementation of sandboxing and JIT hardening, while Firefox came in last of the three for failing to implement those two key features altogether.”]
