Opera was the safest browser in 2022, with no vulnerabilities discovered during the year and only 344 vulnerabilities discovered since its inception.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Chrome, Edge, and Opera are all built on the same Chromium engine, so common flaws may affect all of them.
CERT-In, the national cyber agency, had previously issued a high severity warning to Google Chrome users. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team stated in its most recent advisory that some Google Chrome desktop versions were vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities. A remote attacker could exploit these flaws to circumvent security restrictions, execute arbitrary code, or cause denial of service conditions on the targeted system.
