Who are you? Since I don't know you, your technicians and testers, your testing methodology, your testing conditions, your preferences and inclinations, I am going to ask you to shut the fuck up and stop stating your little opinions in a matter-of-fact way.
Since the browser is also an app platform, which grants the apps crazy privileges, it is more vulnerable than the competition. I admit though, my OP was more of a general comment and not very specific ,
Anyways, if you need someone or their services to satisfy a specific need (in this case, your data safety and computer health), then you are vulnerable to those who have the capacity to satisfy those needs. That is life.
Ikarus, McCafee, KIS and Malwarebytes are the most reliable and best suites for me.
Anyone caring about their computers health and data integrity should avoid google software. To me, the Google Chrome browser does not fit the definition of a web browser. Its "features" are invasive so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone for use on personal devices.
