Το Chrome είναι ένα από τα κορυφαία διαθέσιμα programs περιήγησης. Ωστόσο, δεν μπορούμε να αγνοήσουμε ότι αυτή είναι η τέταρτη φορά που αναφέρει ευπάθειες μέσα σε δύο μήνες και το όγδοο 0day για φέτος. Ο αριθμός των επιθέσεων αυξάνεται σταθερά και μάλλον θα πρέπει να σκεφτείτε το ενδεχόμενο να αλλάξετε πρόγραμμα περιήγησης.
Bonus Tip: Since Edge, Vivaldi, Opera etc are based on Chromium, which Chrome also uses, give Firefox a try.
