I love it. I wish other software vendors would do a better job and informing users as to the root cause of issues they're seeing. More information is better. I don't care if something like "Please wait" or "oops, sorry" tested as being friendlier. I want information!
Chrome already has a lot of protections built in, including blocking known malicious sites. It appears to be Google's judgement that third party injected code from AV vendors doesn't add any real value or causes too many crashes. Vendors can still install extensions to do the same thing.
Plugins are JavaScript with access to a restricted set of JavaScript APIs, and the plugin system is designed and tested by Google and provides compatibility between releases. It should be almost impossible for a plugin to crash the browser, if it manages then that's a browser bug. While plugins themselves are very restricted, they can use the Native Messaging API to talk to a separate native process that has full access to the system. The separate native process is not part of the browser, so any bugs in
What's the difference between "plugging in" and "injecting"? Spin!

You plug things into receptacles designed to accept those things, whereas you inject things so as to bypass barriers that those things are not otherwise able or intended to cross. I'm not "injecting" a power plug when I plug it into the wall. The wall outlet is designed to take the plug. I'm not "plugging in" a syringe when I receive a tetanus booster shot in my arm. It's being injected into me in order to bypass
