IE more Secure then FF?? Check it out..

[Swimmer]

Mozilla Web browsers are potentially more vulnerable to attack than Microsoft's Internet Explorer, according to a Symantec report.

But the report, released Monday, also found that hackers are still focusing their efforts on IE.

The open-source Mozilla Foundation browsers, such as the popular Firefox, have typically been seen as more secure than IE, which has suffered many security problems in the past. Mitchell Baker, president of the foundation, said earlier this year that its browsers were fundamentally more secure than IE. She also predicted that Mozilla Foundation browsers would not face as many problems as IE, even as their market share grows.

the more popular some tool/program/os is, the more of them are out there (duh) making them a more inviting target to mess with.

most secure browser, write one yourself, don't worry about security, just don't spread it around. noone is gonna go out of their way to hack that one in a zillion browser.

Nothing is secure when it comes to computers' and mozilla will never be IE it will never have as many users' but it will share IE's problems in the future'

No browser will ever be 100% safe, it will never happen because there will always be those who make it their mission to prove you wrong.  Firefox's main strength is its popup blocker and active x limiting functions.  IE's popup blocker is not that good, same goes for active x scripts.  The true comparison will come once IE 7 faces off against FF 1.5.

I have a firewall and antivirus, so I don't care which browser I'm using personally..  FF is better for me cuz I like its themes and extensions

Looks weird? It basicly looks like IE. If I had no choice but to use IE, I'd switch to Linux or even... a Mac. You do know that you can customize the look and feel of Firefox?

[organ_shifter]

It would be nice if Microsoft figured out a way to stop other browsers from being used on its OS. That way, Mozilla would have to rely on another source to gets its name out there. Everything that Mozilla has accomplished is owed to MS. Without Windows, Mozilla (as well as all other 3rd party browsers designed to run on MS products) would be nothing.

1.0.7 Update for firefox has been released..http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=7389

My personal opinion is that both are decent.. I dont use IE because it doesnt have tabs..  pop up windows from hell..  There just seem to be more on IE.. I have tried 7 for a short time on a test machine running vista.. i wasnt all that impressed with the layout for tabs.. but we will see what happens..  Until then I am going to stick with FF..

For all the times that Bill gates took a pie to the face, all the programmers the helped design SP2 and release patches to keep us secure, and all the ridicule that Microsoft has been subjected to over the years, I

[ALONZOAMORGAN]

no browser is 100% secure but u can increase security by a program hide-ip address wihich brings it near impossible

I thought I'd post this here for all y'all who've never seen it.

The old pie in the face routine. :haha:

[Swimmer]

did that happen??  If it did that sucks the big one.. That is just plain wrong.. not matter how much you think MS sucks..

[resopalrabotnick]

bah. best pie in thew face-like moment was the live win98 intro. i take this scanner here, plug it into the usb, and voila! bluescreen. whoops.

[ZeroOne]

Gates is a little dorky, but you gotta have respect for him.  I may be a Firefox user, but other than that everything else I run is MS.

[resopalrabotnick]

heck, nothing against gates. i mean, look at the clip. me, i would have made an example of somebody laughing at a mistake like that by beheading him right there on stage.

Windows 98 was such a pain in the ass.  But they more than made up for it with the stability of 2000/XP.
