My browser recommendation, if you're looking for something that's open source and pretty competent, it's a fork of Firefox with some pretty unique functionality.

No, this is (to my knowledge anyway) a theoretical problem. But it is very much a real risk, as demonstrated by the xz backdoor.

We should be very careful who we trust, especially for browsers, because a compromise could be catastrophic.

I'm always cautious of all software. So fair warning
