Is Google Losing Its Shine?

I read an article over at ZD Net this morning that indicates that some companies seem to think that Google’s Chrome browser is a security risk. Though nothing specific is being mentioned, it appears that someone, some where may be trying to take the shine off of Chrome. Or is it a real security risk?
It is difficult to say, beacuse every browser has had problems. Just yesterday Mozilla issues 5 security updates for Firefox. What does this tell us? That all browsers have their moments and one browser should not be singled out for condemnation. The article also stated that:
It is wrong to evaluate Chrome as you would a new TV show. It is wrong to consider it solely in terms of Google because, like Firefox, this is an open source product subject to the open source process.
FWIW - Chrome is still in beta [testing] and its main purpose is not to currently replace your browser of choice. I believ that Google has other plans for Chrome and is just letting us use it to iron out any bugs.
But what do you think?
Comments welcome.

to me, google is still primarily email and a search site and a map site. i dont really use it for anything else. i really love google, but i’ve kinda noticed lately that they’ve been getting a lot of bad press. maybe they deserve it. i hated it when they came out with crome, and then everyone was like “THIS WILL REPLACE YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM FOR SURE!!!!” because it was a bad browser, and probably still is. i like google, but they shouldn’t have too much power
