Majorly I participate in Google VRP mostly as a casual and daily user rather than doing dedicated, aggressive bug hunting. Most of the security flaws I have reported came from normal day to day usage of Google products rather than active deep scanning. The sheer size of the target surface means anyone with a security mindset can spot impactful vulnerabilities, while experts still have room to dig into obscure endpoints and under-explored domains. The triage team is technically solid, supportive, and fair when aligning scope, though response times can occasionally slow down due to the recent heavy influxes of AI based low quality submissions from others. Overall, it remains a highly transparent, well-coordinated program that I readily recommend. Experiences vary across sub-categories like Chrome VRP or Android VRP, but the main Google VRP track covering web products, AI, and Cloud is consistently smooth to work with.
