There are currently 3 major browser engines: Google Chromium, Apple WebKit, and Mozilla Firefox. There are lots of derivatives of Chromium that claim to be secure and remove Google web service dependencies. WebKit is mostly iOS and macos which is pretty good in terms of security except for the Apple service dependencies. Firefox allows the most amount of user choice: Extensions like uBlock Origin and uMatrix, and ways to turn things off, except for the Firefox service dependencies. I'd say the underlying technologies, which overlap in some cases, and have improved the security for the three browsers. We face a different threat in terms of reduced user choices: vendor lock-in, reduced privacy, and worsening user experience. In the past and currently there is an option to block pop-ups, but this has been overcome with modern JavaScript. Even worse are browser vendor pop-ups nagging to give away personal information like location, credit cards, and other credentials -- and making this seem like this is normal and it's not a problem when clearly it is serious problem.
