Sure, but once you upgrade to a certain point, your browser should update itself automagically. I know for sure that Chrome auto-updates, as does (I think) IE9. So once that initial investment has been made, this argument doesn't hold true

Browser update stops once you reach the last version supported by your OS. From there, you have to upgrade OS and that is not as easy or risk-free, unfortunately.
