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.

The attack surface is the flaw. The chain of trust is the flaw/risk.

Who's behind the project? Who has control? How's the release handled? What are the risks and vulnerabilities of the entirely product delivery?

It's much more obvious and established/vetted with Mozilla. With any other fork product, you first have to evaluate it yourself.
