That equates to 288 remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in Chrome per year.

Here is a chart from the same source with a timeline of sorts: http://www.cvedetails.com/product/15031/Google-Chrome.html?v...

Your statement about Chrome is clearly way off, and that's what your parent was addressing. He never said Chrome was bug-free. And he was right to say that Chrome is way ahead of the other browsers (according to these stats, at least).

Edit: those stats show Chrome is better in terms of CVE severity, not number of annual CVEs.

I don't think the classification of most of those DoS bugs are correct. I also don't think there's a big difference between 100 vulns per year and 300 vulns per year. You go fishing and you find some each time.
