One thing I don’t like about Firefox is that its security is not great compared to Chromium. It has less sandboxing and weaker sandboxing.
Firefox sandboxing is especially bad on Android and Linux.
They they do make up for it a tiny bit with better support for ad blocking, which lowers the chance of landing on malicious changes.
Though realistically not many people care about security when choosing a browser. They use old versions and resist the prompts to upgrade.
The only two sources for this that I know of are that one article from 2022 and a brief mention on GrapheneOS FAQ which doesn't go into detail. Is there a more detailed and recent source for this?
Largely the same two sources as you describe.
The first source mentions a couple of issues, Of those, the only one I see to be fixed is the GPU process not being sandboxed on Windows.
Thanks for linking Madaidan's guide, been a while since I checked those.
