It is really just choosing between lesser of 2 evils.
1.) A million people using $BROWSER, never updating, continually downloading free_ipad.exe
2.) A million people being owned by an intelligent hacker because of a fault of Google, that is relatively quickly patched, and I'm sure someone will figure out something to disable those rouge Chrome installs.
The first scenario is much, much more likely to happen, and while the second could happen I doubt, Google would sit on their hands while it does happen.
I guess the only problem is in the second issue, its not your fault if you got screwed. Its your mom's, and just your mom's, problem if she downloads free_ipad.exe, but if Google is hacked all the sudden all your info is comprised and it wasn't your fault.
Considering these two options however, IMO, I'd rather place my faith in Google overloads keeping us all safe.
