With new mitigation technologies, Google renders Chrome for Windows more resistant to vulnerability exploitation. Chrome for Windows now has Hardware-enforced Stack Protection, which increases its resilience to vulnerability exploitation.

The Stack Protection can mitigate a variety of exploitation techniques when combined with existing protection measures, but it may affect consistency if it is incompatible with software that loads itself into Chrome.
