The reliability of Chrome is completely astonishing - why do you want to rip the team a new one for making one honest mistake?

Any enterprise that didn't have mitigations in place cannot legitimately complain about what is probably the most reliable piece software they use (adjusted for some complexity metric).

Chrome is a generally great piece of software and I admire many of the things that Google are doing with it.

The frustration here is that Google are operating outside the way we're all used to for software updates. If we update the software, we know to expect problems. So we can test it and (crucially) roll back.

If Google make changes outside of that then it becomes far more difficult to manage.

Yeah, the fact that Google rolled up a fix in less than two days really shows how good they software engineering is.

I am sure that those multi million dollar enterprises affected by this issue have other softwares so reliable that this was the only time they lost millions on software issue /s.
