The Browser ή browser is one of the apps you use every day. Visit your friends on social networks, read the news, help you with your transactions and much more.
But how much do you trust it?
That's the question in the poll below, and it changes significantly by which program you use. You may be using Internet Explorer because you may have learned it from your grandfather, but that doesn't mean that the application Microsoft's is the most secure. So the following questions come because the confidence it is important but it is also complicated.
We usually trust different browsers to protect us from malware and phishing. Many of us also trust third party plugins to protect us from ads, trackers and malicious scripts.
The problem is that the only companies that can afford to produce such complex and expensive software, for free, are the ones we seem to trust the least.
Some of us may still believe Google's "don't be evil" slogan, Microsoft's integrity blaming Google while collecting tons of data through Windows 10 telemetry. On the other hand, Apple's shine is starting to wear off despite that it was declared the first company of one tris, and Firefox-based Tor cannot escape its military past.
Let's talk about trust
The following questions are not a scientific survey nor an attempt to objectively measure the security of browsers. It is clearly about how you feel, and what you are willing to trust.
Which browser do you trust the most? Of course you can also leave a comment, because the writing remains.

Me on the other side (I'm stupid ???) Chrome for virus security (in Windows), and if I want more privacy on Firefox (on Linux)
I chose Firefox and not Tor because of the uncertainty in the reliability of exit nodes. Views?
From time to time we have seen cases where a single Tor does not reach for complete anonymity. The project was also funded initially by the US Navy Research Laboratory. It was also supported financially by the Electronic Frontier Foundation between 2004 and 2005.
Tor software is now developed by the Tor project, a non-governmental organization 501 (c) located in the US and since December of 2006 is based on various sources of financial support. (Wikipedia)
To come to the topic, and I use firefox from 1 (2004) because it is more transparent to develop. It is not funded by the US government, and the most basic one is not developed by Google.
