Adam Barth, who is working on the extensions system for Google Chrome, discusses how the extension system makes it easier for developers to create secure extensions. Google Chrome’s extension security architecture is based on two principles called least privilege and privilege separation, which Adam explains in detail. Both of these principles limit the amount of privileges an attacker has access to if they are able to find a vulnerability in an existing extension. If you are a Chrome Extension Developer, this is a must read.

@darthirakli In what way? Obviously the set of options is small under ‘settings’- But then, WebKit and Chromium are OpenSource, so i would have thought one can do what one wants..
@darthirakli: Ahhh, but see, that’s what makes a browser, slower. The less add-ons/extensions, the better. I just downloaded Google Chrome, today. And I must say, it is a bit faster than Mozilla’s Firefox; even while downloading files.
@darthirakli it has just as much as any other browsers. except toolbars. but i dont like them on my browser. u can put themes extensions just liek firefox.
I was a bit dissapointed by Google Chrome browser. Yes, it is fast and secure. However, I like tweaking things, but Google Chrome has only limited set of options.
just switched from fire fox. i like chrome so far.
Google is the best!
Google once again proves its genius!
