Despite what people are saying here, chrome has a really excellent track record. Nobody is perfect. Switching just because chrome got exploited one time will likely result in you switching to something worse.

If you're paranoid, disable JIT.



Or disable JS altogether, and enjoy many sites working much quicker. Many others fail & need to be selectively allowed, but it's been worth it.


If by quicker you mean blank content, I'll agree, it is worth it.


Actually thinking back, I get _more_ content, because there's a notable number of access screens that just don't function with JS off, leaving the whole article available.


Somehow I don't think you've tried, if you think all I get is blank content.


It's not about switching because chrome got exploited one time, it's about switching not to reward unethical behavior.


well one someone posts on an article about an exploit in chrome saying that the exploit is a reason to switch, i think its fair to say its not about "not reward[ing] unethical behaviour"
