In addition to some of the other oddities with the article (i.e. the absolutely wrong claim about Brave's ad blocker), I think the security between Chromium and Firefox is a bit too simplistic? This piece [1] might go too far in the other direction, but at the very least it outlines why there are deficiencies in Firefox, comparatively.

- kunagi7 5y agoThis article is really complete and straight to the point. I really like that madaidan keeps it updated.
- yborg 5y agoThe one thing the OP article doesn't actually do is claim that Firefox is more SECURE than Chrome/Brave, the arguments (mostly bad) are that it more private. And that pretty much goes without saying for Chrome, since its entire raison d'etre is to strip privacy from its users for Google. It's unfortunate that on platforms outside macOS you have to choose between risking your privacy being invaded or your device being invaded. The reality in any case is that in every pwn contest every year, all the major browsers are exploited, usually with full sandbox escapes; Chrome has better security implementation but a huge install base that makes effort to crack it worthwhile, while Firefox is easier but has trivial market share.
