Sounds likely Java was the attack vector, it quite often is. From a professional perspective; Chrome is probably on a par with Firefox (which has had some really nasty exploits recall), possibly better. Not that it matters. You were infected due to "driving dangerously", which is what will happen. I'm going to throw this out there but you would have had similar issues on any other browser. (you will often get an "AV hit" on reputable sites where ads try to set a tracking cookie - there is nothing inherently dangerous about that, just annoyance and the fact they are trying to track you :) I'm going to guess that is what you are seeing)
