I have heard that Chrome is more secure than FF.

Maybe so. I haven’t been hurt so far by Firefox, though, so my inclination is to keep using it. I wonder if “more secure” means that Chrome with no special security add-ons is safer than Firefox with no addons. If so, that leaves open the question of whether Chrome without addons is safer than Firefox with NoScript (of course, the safety of NoScript depends to a great degree on your own choices about which scripts to allow).

If I learned that another browser was definitely safer, I’d probably keep using the Firefox interface (with addons) that I’m used to for most sites, and switch occasionally for a few sites that I suspect may be dangerous.
