That's provided you also surf in a sane manner and keep your browser (and other internet tools and OS) up to date, but that should be the norm in 2022.

A couple of extensions used to block ads and other potential malicious things and you're all good. I've never had a problem with it as a browser as far as security. I am a long time Mac user (and system administrator) that also uses Chrome in my job as a web developer. It could see their publication end up in court for libel. I'd be careful if I were the editorial staff here publishing stories like this. This is a terrible article that certainly shows a lack of understanding of how software security works well and the CVE system protects users, or it's a malicious article intended to cast Chrome as a boogeyman with dubious premises. As varenhizzle comments, Google is transparent about its bugs while Apple seems to sweep them under the rug or tell people about them months later while exploits get actively used to harm users that could be taking mitigating steps before a patch to keep themselves secure. That's not a bad thing and means Chrome is actually safer, not less secure. It means that the code is being actively policed and updated. The number of vulnerabilities getting CVEs is a good thing, not a bad thing. If you don't keep it updated you're going to be vulnerable. Well, yeah, that's true of every piece of software that touches the web, including the operating system. Users can fix these by updating to Google Chrome version 1.61.' That means the vulnerabilities are only vulnerabilities if you're not updating the browser.

But, it says the exact opposite where it states, ' Now, if the article had stated that the numerous vulnerabilities have not been patched, that would be bad. This is absolutely correct and the article is horrible reporting made to create fear and stoke animosity toward Google's Chrome.

Safari lags behind Chrome significantly in implementing new more powerful web APIs and this greatly reduces the attack surface area. All that said, I do think Safari's security is likely superior to Chrome's but not because it has fewer vulnerabilities listed.
