Any widespread recent security issues that were only affecting Safari and Firefox? That sounds like scaremongering to me.

Yes, there was a big one for FF in Oct https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-9680
And Chrome had one with severity "High" just three days ago, browsers will always have security issues that seem to be patched reasonably fast in the big three. Might as well pick one that's not part of the monoculture by a big advertising company, depending on your threat model of course.

Yes all software will have security issues, but Chromium is much harder target to exploit than Firefox.
