Asi es....
Google ha publicado un Manual de Seguridad del navegador accesible para todo el publico con la esperanza de ayudar a 
hacer la Web un lugar más seguro.

El manual consta de unas 60 páginas donde podemos encontrar amplio conjunto de características de seguridad y 
características de uso común en los navegadores, junto con útiles comentarios y sugerencias para los desarrolladores de 
aplicaciones que necesitan confiar en estos mecanismos, así como equipos de trabajo de ingeniería sobre el futuro del 
navegador del lado del incremento de la seguridad.

Asunto: Browser Security Handbook

Hi all,

I am happy to announce the availability of our "Browser Security Handbook"
- a comprehensive, 60-page document meant to provide web application
developers and information security researchers with a one-stop reference
to several hundred key security properties and sometimes counterintuitive
quirks in contemporary web browsers:

Having a clear picture of these characteristics appears to be of
significance to building secure web applications, and to auditing existing
designs for potential weaknesses. For this reason, I am hoping that the
document is a valuable contribution to the information security community.

BSH currently covers recent releases of Microsoft Internet Explorer
(versions 6 and 7), Mozilla Firefox (versions 2 and 3), Apple Safari,
Opera, Google Chrome, Android embedded browser, and a handful of browser
plugins.

Please note that due to the sheer number of characteristics covered, I
fully expect some kinks to show up here and there; feedback from vendors
and security researchers is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
/mz
