With apologies to those still waiting patiently for our Q1 update, here instead is a look back at what the Chrome Security teams have been up to in the first half of 2021.

Chrome is hiring, including for security positions! See g.co/chrome/hiring . In particular we're looking for a lead security product manager to work with the teams doing all the great things in this update, and more across the Chrome Trust and Safety organisation.

The first half of 2021 is trending toward record-setting totals for the Chrome Vulnerability Reward Program (VRP) with the security researcher community awarded $1.7M for reporting close to 200 unique, valid security bugs. Of these reward-eligible reports, 84 were reports for Critical and High severity issues that impacted stable channel users. The Chrome VRP continues to be a vital part of our security ecosystem and we greatly appreciate the efforts of the Chrome VRP researcher community to help keep Chrome users more secure!

In a collaborative effort led by the Google VRP, the new Google BugHunters site was launched. Chrome bugs can be reported via that site, as well as at crbug.com/new using the Security Bug template as before.
