Ok chrome has sandboxing, but does anyone know of any published tests about it's efficacy?  

Cheers,

Subject: Re: [funsec] Firefox slow?

Chrome has it's own security problems.  (a lot of them).  While I agree
it's a freaking fast browser, I'm still on Safari.

Chrome is sandboxed. Very, very few of the vulnerabilities in it are
exploitable in a meaningful way. In fact, the critical vulnerability they
reported yesterday
(http://blogs.pcmag.com/securitywatch/2011/01/new_chrome_version_includes_
cr.php) is actually not exploitable because it's not in live code.

I'd send you the list of critical vulnerabilities in Safari, but I'm
afraid Verizon will start throttling my account for excessive bandwidth
usage.
