Safari and MacIntoshs, in the past two years have come increasingly under fire, security-wise. Now that more hackers focus attention on Macs as well it gets reported again and again that their hardware architecture seems to be even more vulnerable than PCs.
A good strategy is to evade the most used software, and use alternatives which are have small market shares only, but are nevertheless supported in a solid way, security wise. These have the smallest chance to attract hackers' attention. I replaced Adobe Reader with Foxit therefore, as an example. Well, Foxit maybe is not really that unknown anymore, but you get the idea.
