Opera browser??

As such, they claim to be one of the most secure browsers out there, but the truth is that the idea of "security through obscurity" is one of the most flawed pieces of thinking in the security world. They *could* be the most secure browser out there, but we'll never be able to tell without looking at their source code, and I bet plenty of hackers have reverse engineered Opera and done just that.

I'll stick with a mixture of Chrome + Firefox.

They might be closed source but they more than make up for it in their support of open web standards and compliance, a much more important thing than having open code.
