Hi everyone — especially browser security researchers! Today we’ve announced some pretty significant changes to the Chrome VRP reward structure and amounts. This was all built with the purpose of incentivizing deeper and ever more impactful research of Chromium security issues.

I wrote a little blog about it here: https://bughunters.google.com/blog/5302044291629056/chrome-vrp-reward-updates-to-incentivize-deeper-research

We wanted to acknowledge the challenges faced and skills required to find the more complex and impactful issues in Chrome, especially when it comes to demonstrating the full exploitability and impact.

We hope these changes are helpful inspiring to browser security researchers and signal our continued investment in working with you to make Chrome more secure for all users.
