Yes for webmasters, I agree. I use three of them daily.

For the online surfers I definitely disagree. If we as webmasters know that one browser is more secure than another browser, it is a good advice to advice them to use that browser.

100 million and more identity thefts in the USA in 2007. How many of them could have been avoided by using another browser?

Have you never been contacted by a surfer that tells that hers/his favourite home page has been lost, and (s)he ask you how (s)he shall get it back?

Conclusion:
Security is the most important aspect for the average surfer, and (s)he have to get a good and up do date advice on which browser you as a professional think is best.

A page is not viewable in a browser. Can the reason be security (e.g. bad redirect)?
