Renegade Android apps can siphon off your web logins, browser history. So make sure Chrome or OS is patched, friends

Chrome could also be launched by a malicious link or app, although if you've set Firefox as the default browser that's less likely. I think an app can still select which browser opens a page, though, which could be a potential vector. Still, it's a lot less likely to be done.
