Sandboxing "restricts an application’s file access, network access, and ability to launch other applications." The purpose of sandboxing is containing applications that *can* be used by hackers to exploit a system. Safari is very secure and it's exploit are almost completely non-existent. The only way a hacker can use Safari to exploit a system is for the user to willingly download an application and open it. How will sandboxing help that? Running Safari in a sandbox is silly.
