Starting a bit of a tangent here I admit, but this makes me much more worried about the future of mobile browsing. Sure, soon enough a decent non-chromium based desktop browser will come along, be it Zen or something else, but what about the mobile world? Right now firefox is perfect for me: It makes the web browsable by allowing ublock origin, it syncs my tabs, history and bookmarks, it's great.

It think it’s important to raise awareness of this as the browser is gaining popularity and it’s clear the devs lack the experience to secure the browser.
