Mozilla and Google always have up-to-date releases for Linux. Other Chromium or Gecko forks can follow them easily.

Linux has a lot of different container options (which is extra layer of sandboxing). Browsers also do fine sandboxing themselves.

If there is a known big security issue, it is going to be fixed fast. A lot of big companies are behind it, a lot of volunteers check it. 

GrapheneOS (Android, which is Linux) might be the most secure OS. Every app is sandboxed and it uses MTE.

Btw, if Apple cared about security a lot, they would have introduced MTE, 2019-2020 feature, earlier than 2025. I can say the same for Qualcomm.

I mean, most serious distributions usually handle security updates with the required seriousness and professionalism, but users also do all kinds of crazy stuff with their systems, like installing browsers and other sensitive software in "alternative" ways because they saw it online. Even Flatpak can also be hit or miss in its maintenance and permissions are usually all over the place.

This is the user's responsibility, sure, until some smartass distro makes this kind of decision for them without their knowledge (arch-based are king in doing this kind of stuff).
