Google has publicly released a Browser Security Handbook, a handbook that “is meant to provide web application developers, browser engineers, and information security researchers with a one-stop reference to key security properties of contemporary web browsers”.
The Browser Security Handbook is divided into three parts and a download that contains dozens of examples. The three parts are “Basic concepts behind web browsers”, “Standard browser security features” and “Experimental and legacy security mechanisms”.
“The document currently covers several hundred security-relevant characteristics of Microsoft Internet Explorer (versions 6 and 7), Mozilla Firefox (versions 2 and 3), Apple Safari, Opera, Google Chrome, and Android embedded browser. ”
