    Safari seems to be pretty leaky. I sure as hell would like to see anti-exploit tools for macOS, before I considered using it. But that's probably me being all paranoid again. :blink: :p

    According to CVE Details Safari had 10 vulnerabilities in 2023 so far, while Chrome had 88 (but Brave only 1?).

    Does anyone know how trustworthy this overview is? Is there a better alternative?

    I have a feeling this site isn't completely trustworthy, I believe I have seen quite a few zero days in Safari's Webkit being abused in the last few years, way more than what's on this page:

    Safari has always had vulnerabilities, although no more than Chromium or other browsers IME. I don't use Safari much anyway, as I'm more likely to be in Firefox, Chrome or Brave on macOS.
