Google Chrome can be attacked, easily. So can IE.

I have seen the BuyNSave Ads malware / virus infect more of Google Chrome users than Internet Explorer users.

I have updated this thread!

Also, Chrome is very good, It may be able to get attacked easily but its security level is rising & With the plugins that i listed above there should be no problem as long as you also use your common sense.

It is not fork of Google Chrome, it uses blink and chromium. These are open-source developed browsers. IMHO, Opera should be in this list, and better extension can be placed in the first post.

I'll add opera back, I guess my source was wrong that i got it from.

In that case every Chromium based browser will seem like a Fork of Google Chrome to you.
Technically, Google Chrome is a fork to Chromium as Chromium is the main browser; Google just forked a version of their own software to add more features and a more consume-friendly version.

For Chromium browsers, you should also add uMatrix.. It behaves similarly to NoScript, but they are somehow different..

I use Firefox with NoScript (you don't need it, I use it for blocking all unknown scripts) + AdBlock Plus + Ghostery.

I also use HitmanPro.Alert but I don't know how relevant it is.

Because after doing some research its just a fork of google chrome, So that's one of the reasons why I removed it.

Well in such picture let say is Yes, but they followed in such different approach there from migrating from Presto to Blink engine so its still a unique browser. ;)
