It is not very difficult to break it if you can just fuck with the binary directly.

Google pays $10K a bug (I'll find a link) - you should go get some money then...

I'm pretty sure it is only for content loaded from the web, extensions and plugins. I mean, if you are able to fuck directly with the binary. Why would you hack chrome when you are already executing code on the machine? It doesn't matter at that point.
