I have always wondered if installation in user land is secure on Windows. After all, in this read/write space, any malicious application can alter the Chrome binary or libraries and grab some sensitive information. This would be impossible under C:\Program Files\
What do you think?
Is it that new flash sandboxing that is causing all those graphics errors and frequent crashes I experience with chrome lately? YouTube become a real PITA. I have to restart Chrome for almost each video. Well, it seems to have something to do with switching through the tabs and un-blocking other flash embeds during playing a flash video. How is a crash more secure than it was before?
...not installing Flash by default to begin with. Make it optional, as it used to be, and as it should be. Instant security boost, above what even a sandbox will likely provide... and if the user chooses to install Flash, well, the sandbox will protect them as much as it can (never mind vulnerabilities in the sandbox and stuff...).
