While the internet is now an indispensable part of our lives, hackers can of course take advantage of this situation and seize our information in order to gain profit or fame. While ransom attacks can expose people to great risks, a report has been published today that closely concerns all internet users.
VPN service provider Atlas VPN compared the most vulnerable browsers with data provided by the ‘Vulnerability Database’, which has been in service since 1997. The results showed that Chrome, the most popular browser today, may also be the most insecure browser.
Google Chrome was the browser with the most vulnerabilities:
According to data covering January 2022 – October 2022, Google Chrome hosted 303 different vulnerabilities in this year alone. The number of vulnerabilities of browsers this year and all time is listed as follows:
Browsers with the most vulnerabilities in 2022:
- Google Chrome – 303
- Mozilla Firefox – 117
- Microsoft Edge – 103
- Safari – 26
- Opera – 0
Browsers with the most vulnerabilities (all time):
- Google Chrome – 3159
- Mozilla Firefox – 2361
- Safari – 1139
- Microsoft Edge – 806
- Opera – 344
However, Google Chrome was the only browser on the list with a security vulnerability in October, the first week of which we left behind.
Of course, the fact that this data does not consist only of data disclosed by companies and is obtained by including what hackers share may also affect how reliable the data is. Because Chrome is the most popular browser, it is constantly under attack, so more hackers detect more vulnerabilities.
