Couldn't help but notice most of the posts from the Chrome team lacked any sort of apology. Including this support post https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/15235262

Bit disappointing when this bug has bricked multiple machines.

It's not even right:

> If you have not taken steps to disable System Integrity Protection and your computer is on OS X 10.9 or later, this issue cannot affect you.

SIP came in with 10.11. Any machine on 10.9 or 10.10 is vulnerable.
