A new report by Atlas VPN has revealed that with 303 vulnerabilities in 2022, #GoogleChrome is the most vulnerable browser so far this year. It's also the all-time leader, with 3,159 cumulative vulnerabilities since its inception. It is followed by #MozillaFirefox, with 117 vulnerabilities, and Microsoft Edge, with 103 vulnerabilities whereas Apple's Safari browser documented 26 vulnerabilities in 2022.

Every month, we see increasing newer #Webbrowser vulnerabilities. Often, the web browser that comes with an operating system is not set up in a secure default configuration. Not securing your web browser can lead quickly to a variety of computer problems caused by anything from spyware being installed without your knowledge to intruders taking control of your computer.

The reason being, most of the computers are sold with software already loaded. Whether installed by a computer manufacturer, operating system maker, Internet service provider, or by a retail store, the first step in assessing the vulnerability of your computer is to find out what software is installed and how programs will interact with each other.

Hackers use multiple techniques to exploit browser vulnerabilities. Occasionally, they will discover a vulnerability that enables them to download and execute malicious code when a user simply visits a compromised site. From there, the code can download other malicious packages or steal sensitive data. Plug-ins are a common vector for these 'drive-by download' attacks.

There is an increasing threat from software attacks that take advantage of vulnerable web browsers. Attackers focus on exploiting client-side systems (your computer) through various vulnerabilities. They use these vulnerabilities to take control of your computer, steal your information, destroy your files, and use your computer to attack other computers.

A low-cost method attackers use is to exploit vulnerabilities in web browser.
