On Mavericks in 2020, that means Mozilla Firefox. However, make sure to run an updated web browser. So the question is, are there hackers who want to get into your machine? Are the willing to spend time to get to you specifically? If not, you benefit from security through obscurity here. If a hacker wants to get into your machine, they'll have a much easier time if you're running Mavericks than if you were running a version that's getting security patches. I might take a more measured approach to this. What's your specs and is the battery healthy? In notebooks, the battery provides an additional boost for the Intel CPU, and what you're describing is as if the battery has been taken out. I doubt Retina had ever had hard drives as its main storage unit.

SSD is a must for running any modern macOS up to Catalina, so if your computer falls it's either an unknown hardware failure or software corruption. That being said, Retina mid2012 should run High Sierra and later as fine as any other older version Mavericks included. Mavericks is truly beautiful, capable and user friendly OS even in 2020. Also, in terms of productivity running old macOSes above Lion doesn't make any substantial difference (rather than much-talked-about "compatibility" and the hope that the developers fixed that disturbing bug) unless you're working in a production environment adjusted to high volume work with motion animation, cinematography or alike. Risk always exists with or without security patches so to align your workflows by just one criterion is not reasonable: the Internet is inherently the territory of risk. The major security risks come from the mainstream companies like Google and Facebook even more than from bogeymen Hackers – your data is harvested by "trusted" companies at unimaginable rate and level, and your browser will be deemed incompatible sooner than you can say "Apple". I'm running Mavericks and another even older macOS om MBP 2012 non-Retina without any dangers. Disregard the comment about "security risks".
