| 356962 | 2005-05-21 02:40:00 | Also: www.eweek.com www.consumersearch.com www.howtocreate.co.uk Can't find a good one on comparative security, maybe because that is changing on a day to day basis. Firefox is probably best along with Opera as you said. |

| 356966 | 2005-05-27 03:33:00 | Is there some place on the web that rates all browsers for security? My guess is that the least popular browser would be the most secure since cyber vandals would be less likely to attack it. Opera maybe???The popularity of the browser has got noyhing to do with how insecure it is, it just so happens that MS built a **** browser when it comes to IE, |

| 356967 | 2005-05-27 03:42:00 | The popularity of the browser plays a huge part, MS being dickheads certainly hasn't helped either but you can garentee your favourite software would be ripped to shreds if the entire might of the devoius bastards out their attacked it.Initially anyway. The difference would be (hopefully) that not only would the hacks be fixed but that the developer would learn a lesson or 2 from the experience and redesign their software accordingly. |

Fat chance Met's. Developers have learning difficulties, it seems to come with the territory. Case in point, the worlds largest software ""developer"", looks like they're stripping even more from Longyawn, including security. All in the name of compatibility and no doubt timelines (read: they don't want to piss the corporates off too much by making the software less friendly to XP, server 2000, etc, so, out goes the good stuff, in comes the same crud that makes life hell now :groan: ) |

The more people use it dosen't always apply, look at Apache http server for example |
