I think you overestimate the degree to which "sensible" browsing will protect you. I might go a high as 90%, which is no small advantage. Of course if by sensible browsing you mean avoiding browsers that allow javascript and never downloading anything executable, then I'd go as high as 99.9%.

And also disable plugins of course. I think the vulnerability rate of Flash or Java is higher than most JavaScript engines at the moment
