Even last year or two years back, I don't remember exactly, Chrome remain unhacked at Pwn2Own competition. Everyone said that Chrome is new to market so it takes time to hack it. But, now hackers had considerable time to study and hack Chrome. And if it remains unhacked even this time, then Google is doing a brilliant job and its a remarkable achievement.

Chrome is now 3rd most widely used Web Browser, so the user base is large Grr. The advantage Google have is that the hackers are interested in telling those flaws to Google itself and make money from it, as Google is giving lots and lots of money to those who find such bugs.

Under stable and beta channel updates you can see how much the hackers are earning for each bug they report.
