Google is taking hostile actions against adblockers (and has attempted to do so for years now). Chrome using too much memory is a meme among normies at this point. It's hard to say whether Chrome is less secure than competitors or if its exploits just get more publicity; clearly it was better than the competition at its inception, and clearly it could be better today.
At what point is replacement the right answer?
There are some promising browser engines in development right now: Servo / Verso, and Ladybird. Some discussions from the past few days:
