Is there an argument to be made for a lighter browser such as this being more secure than Safari or Firefox on macOS?

[saagarjha]

It’s WebKit-based, so it’s not really particularly lighter.

One neat feature is that it has native ad and tracking blockers, which can be more powerful than ad-blocking extensions.

No. This is done by a company without a real security team. Compare that to Google, with one of the best security teams in the world.

And as we all know, Google's security record is spotless.

[hackideiomat]

They are still one of the very best

Not sure what you mean with "lighter", but the reason some browsers feel heavier is the security features that introduce a performance penalty or take up more resources, like jitless mode and process isolation for example. Firefox is not a secure web browser.

[saagarjha]

Firefox supports process isolation. Why do you not think it’s secure?
