the text says "CrOS uses ssp-all", but then links to a page that explicitly says CrOS does not -- it uses ssp-strong. seems like an unnecessarily obvious typo.

No contradiction:

"SSP-All was chosen as a comparison since it was used for a long time by Chrome OS."

"fstack-protector-all was defined to add the canary to all functions. This results in substantial use of stack space for saving the canary on deep stack users, and measurable (though surprisingly still relatively low) performance hit due to all the saving/checking. For a long time, Chrome OS used this, since we’re paranoid."
