Hello,

How safe will it be to use my MacBook Pro Late 2013 with MacOS Big Sur Version 11.7.10? I use it only for Browsing with Google Crome.

You probably fine unless you frequent sketchy sites and download files. It’s more about your online activities then browser security.

The more you use it, the higher the risk.

The more you use what exactly? My elder uncle is using Big Sur on his Mac and has never had any security related issues visiting web sites... ever. He only visits known, legitimate sites for his email, banking, social media, news, etc. because he is the most basic of a computer user you will find. He uses Google Chrome at the moment.
