📯🎊🎊🎊 Announcing the top 20 Chrome VRP Researchers of 2025 🎊🎊🎊📯

As always, this leaderboard is posted as a bug in our issue tracker to honour the efforts of our bug hunters.

In total, 381 issues from over 100 reporters received some reward for helping us better protect people using Chrome from threats on the internet. 2025’s highest rewards were for $250,000 for reports that demonstrated a full chain exploit that escaped Chrome’s sandbox.

We are sincerely grateful for all the contributions from the Chrome VRP security researcher community from past years, and want to acknowledge those whose efforts have been above and beyond.
