A new study by AtlasVPN revealed that Google Chrome is the most vulnerable web browser in 2022. According to the report, Chrome recorded 303 vulnerabilities this year. It is also the only web browser to detect new vulnerabilities in October 2022.

In second place after Google Chrome (which is really good) Mozilla Firefox with 117 vulnerabilities and Microsoft Edge with 103 vulnerabilities. Safari and Opera rank fourth and fifth, respectively, with 26 and 0 (zero) vulnerabilities.

When it comes to all-time numbers, Chrome also ranks first with 3,159 vulnerabilities since its launch in September 2008. Although Firefox, Safari, and Opera are older than Chrome, lifetime vulnerabilities are significantly less: 2,361, 1,139 and 344, respectively. Edge, released in 2015, has a total of 806 vulnerabilities.

To reduce the risk of hackers attacking your system using browser vulnerabilities, be sure to install browser updates as soon as they become available. Also, check browser extensions carefully before installing, as some of them may have vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit. Finally, always be wary of phishing attacks, as attackers often use platforms such as email to distribute malware that can exploit various browser vulnerabilities. Source
