Chrome flunks the National Vulnerability Database analysis

Here is the security data for the browsers. On 1/17/2012 Chrome flunks again.

Note the numbers will change overtime, the number shown is for 1/17/2012, it is likely that Chrome may improve overtime, let’s hope so.

Not even a good try. Vulnerabilities aren't like degrees or inches. Without referring to some standard of comparison for the vulnerabilities themselves, a statement like this is completely meaningless. I have one $10 dollar bill and you have 20 pennies... do you have more "monies" that I do? Well, hehe, yeah, if you're not comparing magnitude, you do!

tbo thank you for your response and you do make a good point about containing all information about postings, etc. I have to respectfully push back on your statement with respect to money. You are misdirecting the argument, yes if I stated that 20 pennies were more than 10 dollar bills. In my article I stated that I am showing the "numbers", and in that case Chrome did worse and continues to do worse over time with respect to "numbers". If you want to demonstrate that my use of absolute numbers, which in statistics is consider a valid approach, then you can go to the http://nvd.nist.gov and use your approach. But to attack the analysis using a statistical argument that is not comparable, is sort of "Fanboyish". I will be happy, as I have at this time, to post your comment if you do statistical analysis from nvd.nist.gov, as you described. Have fun.
