Google Chrome's security

From personal experience, bugs in the Firefox trunk typically take ages to fix, with the devs constantly requesting narrowing down which checkin in which hourly build caused the bug, and even then debugging takes a damn long while. Especially bugs filed by people who're not savvy enough to provide test cases for the devs.

The longest I've waited for a bugfix in the Chrome trunk to date, by comparison, is 1.5 weeks. I'm not saying that this is sure-fire evidence for messy code in Fx, but it certainly does reinforce my opinion of it.

 

Does this switch exist in Iron and where is it?

 

Create a shortcut for Iron and in the Properties tab edit the Target field by appending --safe-plugins to the path.

"C:\Program Files\SRWare Iron\iron.exe" --safe-plugins

 

Thanks Wrongway!

 

Question: does Chrome or IE8 regulate inter-process communications?

One rationale for separating tabs into different processes is to provide compartmentalization so as to fortify the integrity and confidentiality of any one tab relative to the other active tabs in the browser. When tabs exist within the same process, only the browser should regulate communications among active tabs, practically speaking (a security app trying to do so would be problematic). With separate tabs, however, what regulates or blocks inter-process communications (my questions/scope is somewhat OS independent, meaning browsers must cope with the facility limitations of XP)?

Bear in mind, this is all theoretical. I do not intend for my question to imply this issue is in the top 10 concerns for browser security TODAY.

Cheers,

Eirik

 

As said from a software architects point, the first two paragraphs address my issues, a messy architecture is something different than messy code. I admitted to have not done code sampling, so can not say anything about messy code. I am talking about circumstancial evidence (like Eice for instance also does).

I said I did not bother, agree it sounds ignorant when you mention reverse engineering for Free Libre Open Source, still that can be a lazy way to look at it, because some reverse engineering tools have graphic visualisations of the reverse engineered code structure.

 

Will this switch really put all plugins into the sandbox? Also the adobe flash player? That would be awesome!

So will the switch for incognito and safe plugin this one:

?

 

yes (see the attachment)

affirmative

 

WOW! That ist really cool! So i finally found a possibility for running a "sandboxed" browser under Win7 64 bit ?!

That is really good!
