Is an up-to-date browser secure on an out-of-date OS?

Windows 7 support will end on January 14, 2020. Assuming that after that day I still use an updated browser, is it true that I'm still safe? Can it "patch" the OS-based security holes? Minor question: typically, how long would the browsers stop supporting abandoned OS? Is there any number on this? Related: Why should browser security be prioritized?
