[Dailydave] Aviator is more secure than Chrome: Deal with It.

[Dave Aitel]

So the Aviator team (and WhiteHat in general) got a ton of crap about
their patches to Chrome and how they are slower than Google is at
implementing security fixes.

What people didn't point out is that WhiteHat is right: Chrome cannot
provide a secure browser! Google is like a giant beast that sits by the
side of the river Advertising and scoops money with a big fishnet out of
it all day long. But that means that Google cannot do or bear anything
that would at all stop the flow of that river.

Security is one of those things, in so much as some part of security is
giving the user control over their browser. You'll notice the platform
Google controls the most is the one that has the no ability to do ad
blocking: Android.

But privacy is another one of the obvious casualties. As is transparency
into what level of privacy you have.

So let me put it this way: Right now Google has put a ton of money into
hiring the best security experts money can buy. Eventually, like
Microsoft has, they will stop doing this, and that crew will all go
somewhere else. But the fundamental requirements Google has on their
browser platform won't change, and it won't ever be "secure" by a sane
person's definition, if that definition involves being able to filter
content incoming or outgoing.
