browsers are the new operating system, but what was learned in security architecture of operating systems wasn't carried across.
chrome et al at the moment (and other browsers) are the security equivalent of DOS - single user, unprotected memory, no file permissions etc.
a lot has been done well with isolating the browser from the operating system, but within the browser itself is where more and more interesting information is being held, and the security model there is almost non-existant.
