more or less is not important. it is important from which side you will arrive and in what volume. Therefore, it would be more correct to answer your question that this does not play a special role.

lynx is the most secure browser.

It all depends on the kernel, the implementation of the browser based on this kernel, installed plugins, and the vendor's responsiveness to bug tracker updates. If we take a “bare” browser, the picture in 2014 is something like this . And by the end of the year, Chrome , and Firefox , and Internet Explorer , and Safari , and anyone else can become the most vulnerable .

You cannot compare the number of holes and bugs with vulnerabilities, since holes can be different and bugs may not be related to vulnerabilities.
Firefox itself, like other browsers, by the way, is not so vulnerable.
Plugins and related technologies based on open and closed libraries (flash player, ssl, encryption protocols) are more often vulnerable.
The main vulnerability is an illiterate user.

The trouble with IE is some "bones" and vulnerabilities that have not been closed for years (you can google it - it has repeatedly found vulnerabilities that exist in all versions of IE from 6 to modern ones). In general, the problem is not so much in vulnerabilities (no one audited anyway, and therefore it is impossible to unequivocally say where there are fewer of them), but in the speed of their detection and correction.

Anyone working offline.
In my opinion, the safety of work is determined not so much by the type of browser as by the ways of working with it. You can sit on IE 6 on one single site and not know grief, or you can hang yourself with noscripts and cookie managers, get into a couple of file dumps, go to a couple of social networks and boldly start new accounts instead of stolen ones or go rearrange the OS.
