10. Is there more security in a minor browser just because it's minor?

Somehow I happened upon the Comodo browser and I use it sometimes. Presumably, hackers who seek to exploit browser vulnerabilities do a cost-ben analysis and direct their efforts where the time spent will do the most "good" (i.e. the most harm). If Comodo is used by many fewer people than the four major browsers named in the OP, is it therefore less likely to be attacked?
