Name any of the big browsers and there's an exploit for it. All four major browsers fell down during the Pwn2Own hacking competition running concurrently with the CanSecWest 2015 Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. That meant showdowns on Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari and Firefox. All four were unable to survive exploits at the event. The Pwn2Own drew security researchers who attempted exploits in 30 minutes, as per requirements, in return for cash.
