Agreed on Safari/Edge but note that I didn't use the words "very secure" to describe Chrome in isolation.
How can something that gets publicly exploited year after year by _teenagers_ (1)(2) be called "very secure" ?
The grim reality is that we never had a browser than can be called even remotely secure. Major factors for that are the implementation languages (C++ and C) and the vast attack surface. It's disheartening to see this trend continue.
