Which browser do you think is the safest?
Hi! I use Google Chrome browser. Is that the safest browser - do you know? Or are there safer ones? Thanks!

Use whichever one you like. If there truly was a best, or safest, browser it's what all of us would be using. But we all have our preferences, and tool add-ons, etc.
On my Windows box, I use Chrome primarily and Firefox occasionally. On my Mac I use Safari primarily and Chrome occasionally.
Though this subject is often discussed, hope this thread results in factual discussion.
I share the OP's concern. Is there any factual data ? I suppose as pparks mentions, security addons are the key.
$subj
Tor Browser. I hope.
Other partially usable ones:
Waterfox (in private mode)
Epic Privacy Browser
Pale Moon.
If you don't mind basis with no extra functionality or addons:
Download Forkle - MajorGeeks
RE: Firefox. Suffers from a regular need for security patches. It's okay if you harden it.
Mozilla Firefox : CVE security vulnerabilities, versions and detailed reports
Total number of vulnerabilites found in
Chrome 1858
Firefox 1873
Or just have a search here:
Software/Hardware Vendor Search
What counts is how quickly they are patched.
Then you've got various "secure" versions browsers.
Ccleaner, Avast, Avira, Comodo and more have their own "secure" browsers.
One I did quite like but do not currently use is "ur-browser" but you are prompted to upgrade to the paid version after a while in order to use some of the features
I just use the latest version of Chrome in a user account, never logged in to Google. I use the Incognito option for banking so no add-ons are used and cookies are deleted on exit.
I chose Yandex, because of security features, but beware, it is Russian.

I also like, that it uses an inbuilt dnscrypt (UDP) instead of DoH (TCP).
