    Actually, if you read all the way to the end of the article it says that it wasn't too challenging. The other browsers were just easier.

    This is the trend with anything that comes out.

    The Hack-ability tends to be directly proportional to it's popularity. Nothing has been ever built that was 100% secure (if you did, more power to you). My point is, the the more popular something gets, more minds will be focused on it to break it, and more information be available publicly regarding possible attack vectors, and eventually it will break.

    Chrome is a new player, people haven't had much time to play with it, or the motivation to since it doesn't have as much market share at the moment.

    What makes the Google Chrome sandbox better than the IE7 sandbox or the IE8 sandbox? AFAICT, they are all using the same techniques.

    A linkbait headline and half of the article is quotes. Is this really news material?
