Anecdotally, I've never experienced remote code execution through a browser either. However, the most widely used browser for many years did have plenty of remote execution vulnerabilities that did not rely on plugins or toolbars [0].

Exploiting remote execution vulnerabilities is doable, but why do that when one has the easy route of exploiting gullible users instead?
