> Statistically speaking, more users get owned via web browsers than via native apps

Source? Seems like a long stretch, especially if you factor in non-windows desktops and all mobile devices.

If you really are concerned about security wouldn't you rather trust basically just Apple and Google or Apple, Google, and every native app developer in the app store?

Having a load of random apps installed on your smartphone is simply less secure than than just using that functionality within a sandboxed and standardised web browser that goes through endless routine security updates.
