Most Chrome users don't really have to deal with updates because Chrome gets updates automatically and installs the updates the next time Chrome is started.Pharaoh Atemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162057946869846774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477215397403017256.post-20572979752696115282009-07-08T15:00:02.346-07:002009-07-08T15:00:02.346-07:00This has been rhetoric of Mac OS X fans past, pres...This has been rhetoric of Mac OS X fans past, present and future. Even though there are documented security flaws and viruses dating back to OS 10.1. There wouldn't be a market for Mac antivirus if there weren't. <br /><br />What this boils down to is market share and the financial motivation for people to really exploit Google Chrome OS. Mac OS X enjoyed such little market share that it touted security through obsurity. I think what you are getting at is the irresponsibility to claim things that cannot be verified before zero day. It makes sense to claim that updates and antivirus may be transparent to the user, it is foolish to claim any software system is invincible, regardless of obscurity.Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137132800326181007noreply@blogger.com
