There are a couple other points, though:

- Chrome is only available for Windows ATM. Windows boxes are apparently more difficult to crack than Macs.

- Chrome runs in a sandbox, unlike IE or Safari, which adds some security as well.

Chrome sandboxing doesn't rely on things like address space randomization and NX, so the Mac vs. Win32 different --- while probably still present --- may be less pronounced.
