Chrome is now a serious security risk for me. it's just waiting to happen.

for now on, it will be used as the remote debugger for android browsers (until we have something native). just like i have a spare mac for running xcode for the same reason.

firefox serves me well. and will not make me worry much.

All this functionality sounds like an increased attack surface, and it is. But when the comparison is Firefox, it's far outweighed by the fact that Chrome has a very good process sandbox, while Firefox has none. It will be years before Firefox can match Chrome's level of security.
