It is just a Google Chrome clone, nothing special. It falls behind on patching vulnerabilities just like most of the other Chromium clones do.

If you want to use Chrome, then get the official Google Chrome that applies the latest patches long before the clones do.
Some clones will leave critical vulnerabilities open for several months before upgrading to the latest Chromium core by then more vulnerabilities are discovered and it might take another several months for the clones to patch them. Third-party developers can not keep up with Google's large and fast pace development team.

Thanks. :D

Opera, SRWare Iron and Superbird.

Chromium Browser is also available but only comes in portable zipped version, only released as a Development build and doesn't support updates, you have to manually download the zipped file for each newer version and manually extract it to folder making sure to save a backup of your settings first to restore to the new folder. For those reasons doesn't make a good option to choose.

Enjoy!! :D
