The Chrome Chronicles: EULA Amended, Carpet-Bombing Alarm Raised

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

After a few eyebrows were raised over Chrome’s highly libertarian end-user license agreement (EULA) – almost a proclamation of a man’s fundamental right to piracy, an amendment or an explanation was inevitable. Chrome’s EULA stated that users were at liberty to use anything posted online through the browser. But Google has amended the EULA. The web juggernaut also downplayed the entire episode as a mistake. Setting the EULA aside, a few chinks in Chrome’s armor have already been sighted. Avi Raff, a researcher, has discovered that Chrome is vulnerable to carpet-bombing a la Safari.

Now I'm no "researcher," but I've already "discovered" that under the hood of Chrome is webkit, the same core code found in Safari...and therefore I'd already deduced it would have some of the same native vulnerabilities (e.g. carpet bombing).  

I've been waiting all week for the apple fanboys to get a hold of this little tidbit and start working themselves up into a lather about it.
