If you actually cared about security, you would use Qubes OS. With the latter, security of Firefox is more than sufficient for everything.

MacOS is more secure than Qubes IMO.

You should just compare the number of CVEs. Qubes security is stronger even than the one of Xen used in servers: https://www.qubes-os.org/security/xsa/#statistics. Even Snowden uses Qubes.

No single app has access to any data thanks to hardware-assisted virtualization. Last time a VM escape in the modern Qubes implementation was discovered in 2006 by the Qubes founder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Pill_(software).
