So how many geeks out there think I should be flayed alive for using Safari? I’ve never had an issue with it. I know the smaller population of users means that viruses aren’t (usually) targeted at Macs but website exploits should be equal opportunity attackers.
Lately, I seem to get as many or more patches for Firefox as for IE.
This article is by a friend of mine who is in charge of keeping Firefox secure....

I read the article, and find absolutely no evidence as to which browser is better. It’s nothing but a rant from another MicroSoft hater.
Which is not to say which browser is best. Only to say that you certainly won’t learn anything from this guy.
I’ve been using Windows 7 and IE9 since they came out, and haven’t had a single problem. No idea whether that’s MS or my various antispyware programs. But IE9 is fast, convenient, and seemingly pretty secure.
More secure than other programs? No idea. But I like it.
THAT is funny!! lol!!!
When comparing it to the latest version of IE it’s absolutely true. The issue Microsoft has is people are still running XP and IE6/7.
Everyone wants to compare the latest and greatest vs. Microsoft’s stuff from over 10 years ago. The amazing thing is that the 10 year old software still competes. Once you compare to the latest and greatest from Microsoft they generally win.
The safest browser is one that won’t run at all.
