That's not actually true. A browser is not as secure as it's engine. The thing is really more complex than that.

There are configurations concern, certificates, security layer, apps/plugins/add-ons, bugs within the ui layer...

Sure, but the bulk of the issues are in the renderering engine, and for that they are sorted.

I know, it's the exposed part after all, but still I wouldn't recommend it as "secure as safari".
