Default Safe Browser

I know there have been many discussions in the past about "safe browsers" but I was wondering with the advent of "chrome type", IE 64bit, NoScript, and other advancements if the cross references, adclick trojans, driveby contributions are still valid concerns. I am not referring to user interactions like clicking on banners but the sneaky infections without the knowledge of the user.

Thanks for any replies,
SourMilk out

I think those are still valid concerns and all the defences are just part of the perpetual battle against both known and yet unknown attack vectors
