Firefox was the most vulnerable browser, logging 44 percent of the total vulnerabilities found, according to the report. Safari, at 35 percent, ranked next to Firefox at the bottom. IE had 15 percent of the vulnerabilities, and Opera only 6 percent.

Interesting indeed......

Probably the same company that stated that Win 7 was faster than Vista.

The WOW Starts Here...... or is it Here?

A few times, Firefox has topped the CERT list for number of vulnerabilities (something which the FireFox fans neglect to mention). However, it's also worth noting that Mozilla do correct a lot of those vulnerabilities more quickly than MS do theirs..

Well I'd be using Opera anyway if some websites worked properly with it. An example is Digitalspy. I'll click a link but nothing will load until I cancel the process, then it will load up the page. Tis really annoying.
