Or that the exploit is so difficult it is practically impossible to attack.

Who’s moving the goal posts now? The parent was talking about vulnerabilities, not bugs.

"That bug is so difficult to exploit, it is practically impossible to use in an attack" does not have a good track record in the face of determined and ingenious attackers. Worse, once the attackers figure out how to overcome the difficulties, that knowledge spreads and is often packaged into kits that make it easier for the next bug.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Bugs 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 14 and 15 in that list are serious memory safety vulnerabilities that were found in Chrome last year, contrary to your assertion that Chrome only had four last year.
