Firefox is much more private, but Chrome is more secure, although I don’t know to what extent and whether there is a difference in practice.
The main consideration is chance of zero days. Anyone knows?
- ElectronBadger 2y agoThis is only an indirect measure, but: 1. CVE Chrome vulnerabilities: 3415 (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/15031/Google-Chrome.html https://www.cvedetails.com/product/15031/Google-Chrome.html) 2. CVE Firefox vulnerabilities: 2622 (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/3264/Mozilla-Firefox.html https://www.cvedetails.com/product/3264/Mozilla-Firefox.html)
- Sayrus 2y agoAnother non-technical consideration is market-share. Firefox's share is low so exploiting a zero day on Chrome is much more profitable than on Firefox.
- amadvance 2y agoTrue, but I suppose this is at least partially compensated by the cost of such a 0-day. For sure, a 0-day on Chrome is a lot more expensive than one on Firefox
