If that is the advice you are going to give, you might as well ask him to disconnect from the internet...

The question is regarding browser safety.. If you think about it, the internet surfer himself is the safest browser. Watch what sites you go to and be careful about what you click. If you don't want viruses, spyware, malware, etc use some discernment and stay away from suspicious or unfamiliar websites.

Most importantly, have good anti-virus software and a firewall. If you have these, you shouldn't need to worry about which browser to use.

If you have a problem with firefox - fix it or get another browser. You might want to try several browsers to see what fits your tastes.

As far as safety, I don't think you need to worry about Google violating it. You don't need to go rolling down the street in an armored tank, just stay away from the bad parts of town. ;)
