Are there historical records for number of "critical" vulnerabilities found in browsers? It would be interesting to compare the number for different browsers.

Comparing the number of CVEs is not a good way to compare how vulnerable different browsers are. For instance, I believe that Firefox and maybe Chrome bucket together multiple internally reported vulnerabilities into a single CVE.

Don't do this, it's an anti-metric. Unless you think Opera and Konqueror are the most secure browsers.
