I open Chrome once in while for testing or on the rare occasion something only works there, so maybe this is useful for those occasions. But if you're serious about security and privacy shouldn't you be avoiding Chrome as your regular browser?

- judge2020 6y agoSince it's the more popular browser for non-tech people (i'd imagine firefox leans more towards tech/privacy-conscious people than 'normal' users), it's probably the first one targeted for auto-extension installation by malware.
- jamieweb 6y agoI can see where you're coming from on the privacy bit, but from a security point of view, Chrome/Chromium is generally a well-secured browser. Yes it's not written in a memory-safe language, but drive-by exploits and attacks that escape the sandbox are exceedingly rare in Chrome, even if you're running an older version. Of course if you add extensions and Flash to the mix, the security is degraded, but with a normal Chrome install it's fairly hard to do something bad in one tab that will negatively impact another.
