Rich people influence your life even if they’re not politicians. Using their money and influence they push parties and organizations that push their interests, which are usually the exact opposite of what benefits ordinary people
Iirc the most secure browser in a vacuum is Edge, mostly because of its integration with defender. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAu2KYrNgY0
However privacy ≠ security, and I wouldn’t trade all my privacy for it (also a non private browser shares more information with the actors you interact with by default, which means you have always more personal data to lose).
My recommendation for a secure and private everyday browser, both on mobile and desktop, is Brave. They check every box in privacytests.org and are built on top of chromium, which is (sadly) more secure than Firefox or any of its derivative (apart from tor, ofc).
Edit: if you don’t have any particular threat model I’d suggest just go with firefox (or librewolf if you don’t want to spend time hardening it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7-bW2y6lcI) from desktop and brave from mobile (I really don’t like firefox mobile).
Here’s a good general overview https://tilvids.com/videos/watch/88991d6f-b6f4-4673-9ba3-8d9a33cff19e (as I said privacy ≠ security, but if you don’t start from a private browser security is useless unless you have very specific threat model)
You could. It depends on whose narration you trust
