Secure is obviously a very wide term but as an approximation you can look at how much exploit vendors will pay for an exploit, assuming higher price = harder to exploit = more 'secure'.

- swinglock 7y agoDon't you think market share is a factor?
- weaksauce 7y agoI'm not sure that conclusion follows. considering 67% of browsers in use are chrome and ~10% firefox it could be that they are paying based on difficulty and potential reach.

Or what are the black market prices for browser exploits? Although that would mostly depend on the value of an exploit per browser, not the cost of creating an exploit.
