Root users have the permission to do any modification (de-modification too!!!) to the system without the use of password (once asked while logging in). In case of non-root users they require permission from the root users to do any activity which could affect the system. So, browsing with non-root user is safe as just by clicking some sort of malicious links, it can't be installed and affect the system without the permission from root user.
