Oh wait he got nothing at all anyway ;)
- _feus 1y agoNot really, this sort of fame farming is what makes candidates stand out in infosec interviews. A bug in Google systems is good for his future career.
- lucb1e 1y agoThe post says they had another bug with a large bounty in the same year, so it doesn't seem very useful for CV padding either

- m4rtink 1y agoWould be quite different if they patched it and broke important extensions, possibly facing serieous outcry and bad publicity.
- devnullbrain 1y agoThat's what they already did.
- rollcat 1y agoImportant extensions like, dunno, uBlock Origin?
- eddythompson80 1y agoYeah, surely if chrome broke important extensions people will get mad and switch.
- deryilz 1y agoI agree that would change things but I can't picture an open-source extension with millions of users pivoting to rely on something that's clearly a bug.
- userbinator 1y agoAt that point it's a feature, not a bug. Having millions of users on your side is great ammunition.
