Which browser is the most secure? Firefox? Internet Explorer? It’s Google Chrome. Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security has named Google Chrome as the most secure browser for Windows. Web browser is the most important component that let you use online services in secure manner.
Google Chrome’s sandboxing has been pointed out as the key feature in Chrome’s security. In other browsers, sandboxing is either weak or unavailable.
What is sandboxing?
“uses a medium integrity broker process that manages the UI, creates low integrity processes and further restricts capabilities by using a limited token for a more comprehensive sandbox than the standard Windows low integrity mechanism… The extensive use of sandboxing limits both the available attack surface and potential severity of exploitation.” – The Accuvant report.
Another benefit of Google Chrome is its silent update mechanism. The mechanism ensures Chrome always up to date and get the most recent version.
