Do you use a modern browser? If so, you use a piece of software that has been exploited many times by attacks in the wild. Those attacks were mostly targeting either a phone OS or Windows or macOS - not because there is anything in desktop Linux that would defend against those attacks, but because it is less popular. Perhaps some attacks did target desktop Linux; it’s hard to tell because few in-the-wild attacks are publicly documented in detail (although Project Zero has a spreadsheet of bugs known to have been exploited in the wild [1]). Regardless, at best you are relying on security by obscurity. And that’s despite the fact that modern browsers already have built-in sandboxing; without it the situation is worse.
