The webkit browser is in wide distribution on many non-kindle devices and it has been around a long time and is quite mature and reliable. Any "bugs" will be things that amazon added to it. Hopefully they will refrain from decreasing webkit security again.
Other bugs ARE used to install jailbreaks by traditional methods. The currently fashionable method uses data.tar.gz and its variants. They do not work on external web pages. That was a cute hack, but it was known from the start to have a short lifespan (may it rest in peace).
