This is why you should use Firefox for Android: it&#x27;s a great browser (even offering extensions such as uBlock Origin), but it has very little marketshare and is thus unlikely to be attacked.<p>This is also part of the reason a frequently updated Android distribution (Nexus or CyanogenMod) might in fact be more secure than iOS, where you are forced to be vulnerable to Apple&#x27;s Webkit engine.<p>The same reasoning also applies to such updated versions of Android: the vast majority of people use outdated Android versions, so it&#x27;s less likely that people would bother developing exploits for the latest Android version, as opposed to the latest version of iOS.<p>Obviously this is a self-defeating prophecy, but hopefully a proper securely isolated mobile OS will become available before things change.
