>> One of the first things you can do with any of these kinds of lists is to see if they recommend Firefox over Chrome. It's an excellent shibboleth, because Firefox codes (rhetorically) profoundly more activist- and privacy- friendly than Chrome does, but Chrome has much more sophisticated and better tested runtime protections. Firefox seems like it would be the better recommendation, but if what you care about is not being easily (==cheaply) targeted by exploits, it's not.

> This is not smart. It's entirely reasonable that Chrome may be better on top of its exploit game; but this absolutely pales in comparison to the threat of universal surveillance that Google hits us with frequently.

So the smart thing is to use Chromium, then?
