Yes, but there are still unpatched exploits in Internet Explorer 9. Not only that, other plugins like Java or Flash that you have running in your browser could also have exploits in them. Chrome keeps everything at low privileges so that it's much harder to exploit. You never know when you could get a virus! I heard that some people even got viruses by misspelling "google.com" in their address bar and getting infected by a typosquatter site!
