If least likely to have 0 days is the thing I am optimizing for, what should it be?
OS requirements: Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS a nice to have
Sub-question: Does each OS have their own historically “most secure” [1] browser, making a single browser not ideal?

[1] meaning least 0 days, or maybe CTF event history?
Chrome has the best resourced development. Brave leverages Google's investment, and adds their own features (and vulnerabilities). Opera similarly.
So ... there's not a lot of choice, really. Firefox or the mono-culture.
You sound kind of paranoid. Firefox’s security is fine.
Once you get directly spearphished it changes your threat modeling, and in my case, you learn phrases like threat modeling.
> Firefox’s security is fine.
There is some debate about this which can be found surrounding my linked comment in OP.
Am I even asking the correct questions here? Are my priors sound?

I want to get more granular and pick the best chromium flavor (distro?), but I am struggling to find the correct metrics to quantify “most secure.”
And if I get that detailed, maybe there is a different answer on each OS.

Yes. I recently switched to chrome after using firefox for 10 years. My main reason are firefox is going down in development/share and it in-turns effects security and performance.

It has a smaller attack surface which is a plus, correct? Does Chrome add any security features to Chromium?
