Quoting:With Firefox becoming such a market leader and boasting so much programmability, it's bound to become a prime target for hackers. Yes! It's bound to! Just like Linux and Macs will become more insecure as they begin to proliferate! Afterall, popularity automatically equals hackability right? How about, it may become a prime target for hackers. Bottom line is, IE was made to be a part of the OS...and tools were programmed in to make this a reality. ANY browser that isn't built with the intent to make changes to the operating system will always be innately more secure. And, there is no getting around that. |

devnet - That was one line in the entire article. By and large, Opera got the best review, followed by Firefox. IE7 trailed. And -- It's hard to argue with the logic. Just remember that it's one thing to be a target and another to be a target you can hit. |

Oh, I definately agree...opera is a better browser and firefox got a good nod over IE7 Now if we can get all webmasters to agree on this and conform to xhtml transitional strict we'd be set. |

For me, the trump card is what dcparris pointed out: Firefox is free/libre software. That's the nuclear warhead that deals with all the pretty fireworks either of the others can show off. |
