I fail to see how software add-ons have any relevance to the security of the software itself. Perhaps you can dig down deep into your programming or security experience and explain it to me.>> It goes like this: YOU ANSWERED IT IN YOUR FOLLOWING ANSWER! did you know alot of mal-ware uses the same technology as them but they involuntary install it on your computer) I did know that. I also know that the more integrated the browser is into the operating system, the easier it is to exploit the computer at a lower level.
Now let me make this one last case too you, because after this I am iggying this thread. The reason why IE has more problems is because it is bigger, simple but not accepted by you, fine. OK the reason why having a bigger more broadly accepted browser is more dangerous is because the number of vendors and programs out there are targeted towards it, fine you dont buy that either. OK Now the more programmers and users of said item the more different the programs, ok. Now let me continue on with my bad "formatting". The more there are different programs out there such as yahoo bar, integrated video, java scripted mail clients etc the more people out there get to know the script and the flaws. When you have had literally billions of reviews of software that goes out and works with said browser flaws will be found and exploited. Mozilla hasnt had that sort of exposure with FireFox, it will eventually and it will possibly stand up to the test of time or it wont that remains to be seen.
This argument is over and is quickly going go down to the level of apes tossing shit at each other. So I will leave it at that, if you cant see or understand that view then so be it. But try and keep the insulting out of it.
It goes like this: YOU ANSWERED IT IN YOUR FOLLOWING ANSWER! Uh, no. Whether one can plug in additional features to software is completely different from the core code that contains vulnerabilities.

That's convenient.

By me and by much of the security community. The concept of "used more = hacked more" is provably false, and while you can continue to ignore that fact, it doesn't make your argument acceptable.

Like most of the trolls that I swat on the tech threads, I have no interest in changing your mind. Rather, my purpose is to keep you from spreading FUD and poisoning the minds of other readers.
If you want to slink back under your bridge that's perfectly fine by me, but don't expect me to stop posting simply because you've painted yourself into a logic corner.
