  • Of course there are unreleased 0-days, but you can’t do anything about it.

    And that’s exactly my point.

    Using a different browser until a particular issue is fixed when you are e.g. a journalist still helps with getting hacked.

    Actually no. Because you never know what currently unfixed 0-day is actively exploited in any browser. Using Gecko or Chromium today because Webkit had a security flaw yesterday doesn’t make anything safer. It might comfort you, but that’s it.

    The only important metric is the number of 0-day discovered per year per engine. It’s a matter of probability.

    Changing engine would be like changing dice because you had a bad number, without knowing how many side you’ll get with the new ones.
