The software most of us use on a daily basis wasn’t built with robust security in mind. If it was built with any effort toward security, it was most likely built with “casual”, or “good intentions” security.
The process that gives us our modern software has typically focused on features and value rather than preventing malicious actors. Yet we live in a connected world, and although connectivity brings power and opportunity, it also brings risk.
Risk because there’s gain in hacking our lives and the organizations with which we interact — schools, hospitals, insurance providers, municipalities, government agencies, social media networks and smaller scale entities.
So I’m glad that Google engineers are vigilant in looking for ways to improve the security of the Chrome browser that so many of us use on a daily basis.

Using better tooling will not solve all security problems — nowhere close, but it’s helpful.
