It’s official: Google Chrome is the safest web browser!

From: ARS Tech­nica

A recent con­test at CanSecWest, an event that brings together some of the most skilled experts in the secu­rity com­mu­nity, has demon­strated that the three most pop­u­lar browser are sus­cep­ti­ble to secu­rity bugs despite the vig­i­lance and engi­neer­ing prowess of their cre­ators. Fire­fox, Safari, and Inter­net Explorer were all exploited dur­ing the Pwn2Own com­pe­ti­tion that took place at the con­fer­ence. Google’s Chrome browser, how­ever, was the only one left standing—a vic­tory that secu­rity researchers attribute to its inno­v­a­tive sand­box feature.

And my choice of dump­ing Fire­fox for Chrome stands vin­di­cated. :)

I’ll be giv­ing a 20–25 minute ses­sion at OSS­Camp New Delhi on open source, entre­pre­neur­ship and the cur­rent reces­sion. It will be on 28th March 2009. I haven’t got most of the mate­r­ial ready, but I have pasted many Kat­rina Kaif pics in the slides … so yes! the most impor­tant part is done! :D

On a seri­ous note,  OSS­Camp is one of the largest con­fer­ences in India focus­ing on IT, Open Source and entre­pre­neur­ship. They have their camp this time at the IIT Delhi cam­pus which is right in the heart of New Delhi. If you’re any­where in India, this is be one event you shouldn’t want to miss. At least not when I’m speak­ing. :)
