I don't know about the XecureBrowser itself, but secure browser
operating systems is a huge research area at present.  SSL *has* been
cracked --- there're a couple of known timing and man-in-the-middle
attacks --- but if you use good keys, and disable attacking sites
(they'd be pretty obvious: see the paper
http://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/ssl-timing.pdf for the classic
explanation of one such attack -- there are a couple more) you should
be safe for now.

For secure browsers, see the recent paper on the Illinois browser
operating system:
