In terms of the browser itself, it’s not niche browser engine. The engine is Chromium (via Electron) by default, though WebKit is also supported as a compile time option.
So that should bring the same safeguards in terms of sandboxing from drive-by attacks.
Then risk here is code that has execution permissions outside of that sandbox. But here, that’s no different to running any kind of untrusted code (eg shell script, ELF, etc) on your local machine.
