It appears that over 100K users have downloaded a Chrome extension call Archive Poster and is mining Monero whenever the browser is open. It seems like everyday there's a new cryptoming malware release and all the browsers are being hijacked one way of the other. Also, this thing has been reported to Google for weeks and it's still available for download on the Chrome Web Store. At this time it's not known if it's an intentional addition to the extension or not.

Google doesn't seem to care, allowing the extension to continue to be available on the official Chrome Web Store. A user even reported Archive Poster on the Google Chrome Help Forum, but a Google staffer told the user "to get in touch with the extension developer for further assistance."
 
you know.. its kinda funny. MS Edge has very few extensions, and because of that, it could soon be the safest browser to use

hahahahaha
 
Well, if the measure of number of vulnerabilities, for 2017, is any measure, then take the following for what it is worth.

Firefox: 1
Chrome: 153
Safari: 175
Edge: 363
iOS: 379
Android: 841

That is the total vulnerabilities discovered in 2017. It is not a reflection of how many are still outstanding or how many were fixed.
 
wow, google has a shitty record. so many vulnerabilities with chrome and android.

I'm just asking to be hacked, with my unsupported EOL android marshmallow and chrome browser.
