The Hackathon is over and the only browser left standing is Google Chrome. This is the second consecutive year that Google has managed to leave the competition unscathed. In fact, according to TheNextWeb<\/a>, this time around no one even attempted to hack Chrome.<\/p>\n

Google obviously went into the competition well prepared. It fixed as many as 11 flaws just ahead of the competition. However, so did Apple, which recently pushed through 16 patches<\/a> for Safari. Safari\u2019s fall also proves that there is more to Google\u2019s success than its lowly market share.<\/p>\n

In fact, given that Google Chrome had managed to survive last year\u2019s Pwn2Own, most people expected hackers to be gunning for it this time around. Google credits its \u201csandboxing\u201d technique , which forces processes to run in a restricted environment, for Chrome’s success. While, sandboxing might be the key behind Chrome\u2019s outstanding security track record, it definitely isn\u2019t the sole contributor. Even Internet Explorer 8 utilizes sandboxing (Protected Mode), yet it fell quite easily.<\/p>\n

Google built Chrome from the ground up with focus on security and speed and their efforts are certainly paying off. It is the only major browser, which is yet to be surmounted in the Pwn2Own contest. That alone is a laudable feat. <\/p>\n
