Did you read the entry on HN recently, where it is discussed, that Chromium-based browsers allow websites to set your clipboard content, without user action being involved at all? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32614037)

Just one example of how it is not safer, that I thought I should mention, on the background of such a blanket statement as "Chrome is safer" : )

No, I didn't read it and I don't really see your point. I didn't say Chrome has no vulnerabilities.

It's not only for Chrome.

Correct! That's why I wrote "Chromium-based" ;) Many people mix those up all the time or even think they are the same.
