Windows OS gives a big lie to that perception. Linux and/or BSD (both FOSS projects) are much more reliable than Windows.

Version 53.0.2785 of Google Chrome, 38.14393.0.0 of Microsoft Edge, and 48.0.2 of Mozilla Firefox were tested against a variety of phishing and malware attacks during the months of September and October. By the end of the tests, Microsoft Edge came out on top with a 91.4% success rate against phishing and an impressive 99% success rate against malware attacks.”

Maybe your article refers to the old Microsoft Edge not Chromium-based. I don’t defend any browser, in particular, I use them all, everyone has their strong and weak points, but I don’t like to read information that is wrong. Plus MS Edge for Linux, Chromium-based, is available for download.

Don’t forget to install MS True Type Fonts which make your documents, spreadsheets, and presentations more likely to be shared w/o problems.

There are replacements, Darktable or Rawtherapee, both high-quality programs for photographers.
