This was a test based on the security involving the protection Chrome and Firefox can give against malicous websites.

It's worth noting that Firefox uses Google' safe browsing service

How does built-in Phishing and Malware Protection work? | Firefox Help
" Phishing and Malware Protection works by checking the sites that you visit against lists of reported phishing, unwanted software and malware sites. These lists are automatically downloaded and updated every 30 minutes or so when the Phishing and Malware Protection features are enabled.

When you download an application file, Firefox checks the site hosting it against a list of sites known to contain “malware”. If the site is found on that list, Firefox blocks the file immediately, otherwise it asks Google’s Safe Browsing service if the software is safe by sending it some of the download’s metadata.*"

Both browsers does not rely fully on any 3rd party engines, so technically you need companion based to protect in all matters.

Good thing that phishing can easily manage to detect since it is not belong to deep web.

FF doesn't have a sandbox , Chrome does; just that is enough to forget FF for good.

Chrome must have master password to be safe to use.
Any password recovery\crack can extract your password even if you have user password on windows
