La entrada Tips y Trucos: Diez consejos para Google Chrome se publicó primero en PCFORMAT MX.

Google liberó una nueva versión de Chrome en dí­a de hoy con la cual añade soporte a la API de JavaScript Pointer Lock.

Esto básicamente dará lugar a que el usuario viva una experiencia mucho más optimizada cuando inicie juegos 3D en el navegador, ya que el puntero del mouse se quedará dentro de la aplicación / ventana de juego. Según Google esto supondrá una diferencia determinante en lo que se refiere al control del mouse sobre los juegos, sin que se salga fuera de la ventana y controlando la perspectiva totalmente con el ratón.

La API no sólo ofrece funcionalidades para los juegos, ya que también servirá para perfeccionar la visualización de herramientas médico cientí­ficas, simuladores, modeladores y aplicaciones que funcionen de igual manera con altos niveles de gráficos.

Puedes probar Pointer Lock en Chrome utilizando BananaBread 3D, el shooter de Mozilla.

Chrome de Google fue el primer navegador en caer en el Annual Browser Hackathon, Pwn2Own, ante el grupo de seguridad francés VuPen Security, que demostró un exploit de sandbox, a sólo cinco minutos de iniciada la competencia. 

La competición Pwn2Own ayuda a los investigadores en seguridad a dar a conocer exploits contra las versiones más actuales de los navegadores web más populares: Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox  y Chrome.

Los puntos son otorgados por dos criterios, por  la velocidad con la que los participantes pueden demostrar las vulnerabilidades y la medida en que sus exploits comprometen al navegador.

En años anteriores, hackers se habí­an inclinado por evadir el navegador Chrome de Google, que usa una tecnologí­a poco conocida, con esto pretende restringir exploits, prevenirse de ellos y disminuir el impacto en su navegador.

La prevención de ejecución de datos y  el espacio de direccionamiento aleatorio han sido considerados como herramientas vitales para asegurar los navegadores web.

Mientras tanto,el hacker ruso, Sergey Glazunov, cobró un premio de $60,000 por demostrar un exploit de Chrome por separado, al eludir también la seguridad de Chrome.

Glazanov cobró su premio en una competencia por separado, Pwnium, que únicamente se enfoca en los hack para Chrome.

Google retiró su patrocionio inicial al concurso Pwn20wn, al preocuparse de que no se pidiera a los participantes no divulgar los detalles de sus exploits.

Mientras los errores en Chrome son notables, al final del primer dí­a de la competencia Pwn2Own, los equipos habí­an demostrado con éxito huecos en todos los navegadores web.
