Hi! I just got a new computer recently, and I’m concerned about browser security and security in general. Any recommendations for a good secure browser? Preferably open source.

First thing first, there are no 100% secure browsers.
If you really want to increase security, you could use a browser extension that blocks JavaScript execution by default, e.g. NoScript, which would prevent websites that you visit from executing code on your box by default. This will prevent a lot of browser exploits from working in the first place. It will also result in a lot of websites not working correctly, so you might want to whitelist websites you trust in NoScript.
