Firefox with uBlock Origin. It’s astonishing how many exploits uBO stops before they ever reach your browser engine. It’s the antivirus of the 2020s.

Firefox absolutely does not have a better security track record than Chromium browsers and on top of it you’re recommending an extension as a security measure oh my god man this comment needs to be flagged dead

  • The idea here is that uBlock filters the domains that may serve the malware in the first place. It basically works the same as a DNS filter.

  • I'm willing to believe that stock chrome has a better record than stock Firefox, but

    ... Yes? Why can a browser extension not be a security measure/improvement?
