From what I see on that page. It costs $500,000 to exploit chrome and your attack only lasts for a few days and then google pushes out a fix to all chrome users. This is so much better than the IE era where a teenager with some free time and skill could make something up and there would still be exploitable machines years later for the same bug.

And yet have you seen how many zero day, patch now, actively explored in wild vulnerabilities there have been in Chrome just this year?

It doesn’t feel like even Google are winning
