This nerd cares about security, and Chrome is significantly more secure than Firefox and Mac is significantly more secure than any Linux distro.

99% of the time security is about securing the product from the user. Just like Google's action we're commenting under

I must be a shit nerd, I've never in my life thought about browser safety.

How the hell is chrome significantly more secure than firefox?

Citation needed.

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).
