Of course there are unreleased 0-days, but you can’t do anything about it. Most of them are even kept secret by companies that sell spy software. However, public 0-days are way more dangerous because they are being exploited actively.
Using a different browser until a particular issue is fixed when you are e.g. a journalist still helps with getting hacked.

And that’s exactly my point.

Actually no. Because you never know what currently unfixed 0-day is actively exploited in any browser. Using Gecko or Chromium today because Webkit had a security flaw yesterday doesn’t make anything safer. It might comfort you, but that’s it.
The only important metric is the number of 0-day discovered per year per engine. It’s a matter of probability.
Changing engine would be like changing dice because you had a bad number, without knowing how many side you’ll get with the new ones.
