in [Mozilla]

Prev: Firefox autodial
Next: Firefox is already running....
From: businessman on 30 Mar 2007 01:47 I hate to break this to everyone, but according to http://msmvps.com/blogs/spywaresucks/archive/2007/03/22/701346.aspx IE7 is now the safest browser. Now that you are all beginning to delete Firefox and install IE7, there is GOOD NEWS. The good news is that Firefox 2.0x is only a tiny precentage of a point below IE7. On the other hand, Opera comes in as the worst on all accounts. What shocks me is that IE6 is safer than Firefox 1.x Here is what they list: Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x 5.42% of all Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x installations were detected as being insecure. This is based on 211,521 system installations. --------- Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x 9.94% of all Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x installations were detected as being insecure. This is based on 132,336 system installations. ------------ Firefox 2.0x 5.47% of all Mozilla Firefox 2.0.x installations were detected as being insecure. This is based on 166,856 system installations. ------------ Firefox 1.x 38.16% of all Mozilla Firefox 1.x installations were detected as being insecure. This is based on 39,930 system installations. -------------- Opera 9.x 12.39% of all Opera 9.x installations were detected as being insecure. This is based on 46,034 system installations. ------------- Opera 8.x 98.81% of all Opera 8.x installations were detected as being insecure. This is based on 3,878 system installations. ------------ Opera 7.x 88.78% of all Opera 7.x installations were detected as being insecure. This is based on 820 system installations.

Neither. Just sharing what I found on the website link that I included in my post. If you actually read my whole post, Firefox 2.0x came in almost identical, just a fraction of a percent lower. On the other hand Firefox 1.x did not come in good. On the other hand, Opera was very poor. I dont believe everything I read on websites, so I was hoping to get some useful feedback on this. Unfortunately your reply did not fall into the "useful" category.

A look at the source discounts this immediately. Also, this is the same troll who argued for weeks about a moot point in an another group. -- A: Because it disturbs the logical flow of the message. Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? |
