Fair point, however, with Ublock and Ghostery there are no conflicts. With those two extentions installed, I would say chrome is the most secure browser. But LarryTheComputerGuy is right, you can't just rely on the browser, it does depend on the system and the firewall you have installed.

I don't quite get that as those two extensions have nothing to do with security merely ad and anti-marketing trackers.

Also the latest version of Ghostery does allow for marketeers to track you on SSL sites. (you won't find that in the small print but you can test it out with comparisons from older versions).

Well with Ublock it blocks rubbish online, but yeah I see your point. In general chrome is very secure and fast for that matter. The main is vulnerablities and chrome is great at finding them quickly and repairing them.
So I would highly recommend it!

Yea to each their own I guess.

Let me ask you this, what would you consider more secure?
A FW, AV, AMalware?

or

Secured Browser?

or

User knowledge?

I use Ghostery, AdblockPro, and Bitdefenders Trafficlight....and still, If I look at something on Amazon, then go to facebook, what I was looking at on Amazon is right there on my Facebook Page....lol

And since I have Adblock Pro on my PC's, I always watch Brians Videos on the PS3 and don't skip ad's

I would say User Knowledge because with because with knowledge you experience it, then that is secured in your memory. Also sometimes in a situation even after looking ages for the answer of anything, user knowledge comes in when somebody tell you, this is because they have experienced it and are confident with their answer. But yet again their opinion could be biased, so it depends but I know with knowledge there is power.
