Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I make no bones about not being a fan of the Chrome browser. I do not use it on my desktops, laptops, or phones -- because Chrome is not all that concerned about user privacy. To make matters worse, Chrome is one of the most targeted browsers on the market.

However, just like many web applications are susceptible to some form of injection attack (OWASP Top Ten), Firefox’s use

For context: Admins and programmers sometimes use "DLL injection" to insert customized code into a process or program.
