There is only one browser in the archive with adequate security support and that's Firefox. The lack of piles of qtwebkit/reqkonq security uploads doesn't mean they are an order of magnitude better about security than Firefox, just that we don't know what the issues are. Chromium gets some maintenance, but it's not a reliably updated as Firefox. Given the volume and scope of web browser security issues, I think it's crazy to be using anything else.
