you realize those are all "crap" sites.
I agree those aren't the best reviews but I couldn't find the good one I saw before and I had to do a quick reply so that's all I could find. I totally agree with a previous poster here, common sence is your best security tool. You can use any browser; and as long as you use it wisely you will be fine. I've tried all browsers and they are all equally fast to me and they all work and have all the basic features needed to browse the web. At this is point it just comes down to preference of interface and features and Safari is exactly what I need. Sleek, fast, simple design, and IMO it has the best bookmarks bar so I use it and I love it.

As far as the article is concerned I don't really have an opinion but it does have some interesting points here and there.

Browsers don't make your PC unsafe, your browsing habits do.

I am guessing that this review is using FF3 vanilla. With addons you could easily say FF3 > Other browsers in terms of security.

Just by using safe browsing habits, I have yet to get a single piece of malware through any FF3 or Ie7 exploits.


I have, however, gotten roughly 6 trojans over my Lan. My mom still uses Limewire, despite me saying no. Guess it's a good thing i run an AV anyways, no? :P

I have been using firefox for the longest time and I have never had any trouble with it. IE use to lag really bad for me whenever I started it back then so I have completely abandoned it ever since.
